You are chewing an apple and hear an odd sound, then something in your mouth feels wrong. One of your crowns has come loose. Chances are, the crown can be re-cemented at
Sundance Dental & Orthodontics in
Rio Rancho and Farmington, NM, where our services include emergency dentistry. So what do you do when your
dental crown comes off? You must take the following steps:
Don’t Swallow It!
This may seem like a no-brainer, but we mention it because it is essential. Carefully take it out of your mouth. If you accidentally swallow it, you will have some different problems that aren’t pleasant.
Look Carefully
Inspect the crown and your tooth if there is damage to either, Drs. Rothenberg and Moskowitz will need that information. This brings me to number 3:
Clean Gently.
Use a toothbrush to clean the crown and the exposed partial tooth cautiously.
Handle With Care
While waiting for the crown to be re-cemented, skip substances that are chewy, sticky, or crunchy. We are a full-service practice offering emergency dentistry at SundanceDental & Orthodontics in Rio Rancho and Farmington, NM. We place dental crowns and provide complete family dentistry.
