Do you have loose crown? Has the crown fallen out? If your answer to these questions is yes, then it can be quite distressing as the exposed teeth are sensitive to hot and cold foods/drinks. You will find many people who do not know what need to be done when losing a crown and where to go for emergency dental care. This blog discusses about certain things that can be done to prevent the crown from falling out or becoming loose.
If you don’t have the crown, try to get it fixed soon. A tooth that has already lost the crown is at higher risk for breakage.

There can be some problems with either the crown or underlying tooth. The maintenance will depend greatly on the amount of tooth structure and quality that is underneath.
Some reasons for the failure of crowns are:
If you do not face any of these situations, the crown might have come out as the cement gradually leached out over a certain period. If you can find and save the dental crown, it can be re-cemented back. However, if your crown is loose or has fallen out, book an appointment with our dentist for emergency dental care.
