While they are very strong, they aren\u2019t completely indestructible. It certainly isn\u2019t unheard of for them to fall out for a variety of different reasons. This may not be the worst dental emergency that you could encounter, but it still requires the attention of your dentist. Continue reading to learn which steps you should take if your crown becomes dislodged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Give Your Dentist a Call<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your crown falls out, you should act quickly, but calmly. Do your best to look around for it. If it is still in your mouth, take it out. You should carefully clean the area in your mouth where the crown was as well. Be especially gentle because the area could be more sensitive than usual. Give your dentist in Carrollton a call and schedule an urgent appointment. Let them know if you are in any pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examine the Area and Clean Your Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Look on the inside of your crown and remove any debris or old cement. Check to be sure that none of your natural tooth has broken off and is still lodged within the crown. Carefully run your tongue over your underlying tooth so you can see if it\u2019s sharp or smooth. You don\u2019t want to risk accidently hurting the soft tissues in your mouth. If your crown is hollow, you might be able to place it back on the tooth for the time being. Follow the instructions of your dentist to see whether or not an adhesive should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Careful!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Until you are able to get to the dental office, you should be avoiding chewy and sticky foods that could cause additional damage. Chew on the opposite side of your mouth and eat only soft foods until the issue has been resolved by your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go to the Dental Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the time for your appointment comes around, your dentist will take a look and see if your crown can be replaced or if you need to have a new one created. Either way, they will clean the area and cement the crown or a temporary crown to your tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dislodged crowns aren\u2019t uncommon, but they still require immediate attention to prevent further damage to your smile. By following these steps, you\u2019ll be back smiling in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsmiledental.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Tammy Ton<\/a> earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Marquette University School of Dentistry and regularly attends continuing education courses to keep her knowledge and skills sharp.
