A missing crown or filling leaves your tooth exposed to bacteria and sensitivity. Follow these steps to protect your tooth until your appointment.

Follow these steps while you call our Richardson office at (972) 238-9626
If you still have the crown, keep it in a safe place. Rinse it gently with water. Your dentist may be able to re-cement it.
You can apply over-the-counter dental cement (available at most pharmacies) to temporarily protect the exposed tooth. Do not use superglue.
Eat soft foods and chew on the opposite side of your mouth to avoid further damage or pain to the exposed tooth.
Call Richardson Family & Implant Dentistry at 972-238-9626 to schedule your appointment. We can often replace a crown or filling the same day.
A lost crown or filling is rarely an ER situation. However, if you develop a fever, facial swelling, or difficulty swallowing, the exposed tooth may have become infected — seek emergency care immediately.
