What should I do if my crown falls off?
If your crown falls off, save it and call us immediately to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, you can temporarily reattach it with denture adhesive or toothpaste, but do not use super glue. Avoid chewing on that side and eat soft foods. A fallen crown needs to be re-cemented or replaced promptly to prevent damage to the exposed tooth.
