Help! My Crown Came Off!

repair broken dental crown Monkton

You are chewing an apple and hear an odd sound, then something in your mouth feels wrong. One of your crowns has popped free. Chances are, the crown (which cost you hundreds of dollars) can be re-cemented. Call us at Hereford Dental Health serving Parkton, Monkton and Sparks.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR DENTAL CROWN COMES OFF?

Don’t Swallow It!
This may seem like a no-brainer, but we are mentioning it because it is important. Carefully take it out of your mouth. If you accidentally swallow it, you will have some extra issues that aren’t pleasant.

Look Carefully
Inspect the crown and your tooth. If there is damage to either, we will need that information.

Call Your Time Dental Urgent Care.
We will schedule you an appointment and advise you on whether you should use temporary cement to re-attach the crown until you can get into our office and have it permanently re-cemented.

Clean Gently
Use a toothbrush to cautiously clean the crown and the unprotected partial tooth.

Handle With Care
While waiting for the crown to be re-cemented, abstain from substances that are chewy, sticky, or crunchy.
