What to Do When Your Dental Crown Falls Out
A dental crown falling out can be alarming, but it’s important not to panic. At Refine Dental Studio, we’re here to guide you through the steps to take if you find yourself in this situation, ensuring your tooth remains safe, and your crown can be restored as quickly as possible.
Immediate Steps
If your dental crown falls out, taking immediate and appropriate action can help prevent further complications and discomfort:
- Retrieve and Clean the Crown: Carefully pick up the crown, rinse it gently with water, and avoid scrubbing or using soap.
- Assess the Situation: Examine both the crown and your tooth. If the crown is intact and there’s no pain, it might be possible to temporarily reattach it.
- Temporary Fix: You can apply a temporary dental adhesive or toothpaste to the inner surface of the crown and carefully place it back over the tooth as a temporary solution. However, this is not a permanent fix.
Visit Your Dentist Promptly
It’s crucial to contact Refine Dental Studio immediately after your crown falls out. We can provide you with specific instructions and schedule a prompt appointment to address the issue. Your dentist will evaluate whether the crown can be reattached or if a new crown is needed.
Preventive Measures
To prevent crowns from falling out, ensure you:
- Follow Good Oral Hygiene Practices: Regular brushing and flossing can prevent decay under the crown.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Chewing hard or sticky foods can dislodge or damage crowns.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visiting Refine Dental Studio for regular check-ups helps ensure that any issues with your crown are caught early.
