Dental First Aid: What Do I Do If My Crown or Temporary Crown Becomes Dislodged?
If your crown or temporary crown falls off your tooth, please make an appointment to see us. If the loss of the crown is causing discomfort or distress, please request an emergency appointment.
Bring the crown with you if you still have it, as it may be possible to re-cement it. Please do not attempt to re-cement or superglue your crown back in place yourself, as this can damage your tooth.
If the exposed tooth feels uncomfortable or sensitive, you can try applying a little oil of cloves to help reduce this sensation as a temporary measure, until you are able to come in to see us for a more permanent solution.
