\"dentalDental crowns and fillings<\/a> are commonly placed to restore a tooth\u2019s health and function while protecting the tooth from additional damage. In some cases, temporary crowns and fillings are used while waiting for a permanent restoration to be completed. Crowns and fillings are very effective and durable; however, it\u2019s not uncommon for a crown or filling to become loose or even fall out. If you\u2019re had a crown or filling fall out, don\u2019t panic! When this situation occurs, it rarely constitutes as a dental emergency, but you will need to call your dentist right away. In the meantime, there are many things you can do at home. As your dentist for fillings and dental crowns in Montclair NJ, we have everything you need to know in the event you lose a restoration.
\n<\/p>\n

Why Do Restorations Fall Out?<\/h2>\n

While dental crowns and fillings are designed for long-term solutions for damaged and decayed teeth, restorations may become loose or fall out for various reasons. Often, a restoration will become loose due to decay that has developed under or around the restoration<\/a>. Of course, trauma to the tooth may also cause a restoration to come out.<\/p>\n

Lost Dental Crown or Filling<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve had a restoration come loose or fall out, it\u2019s not uncommon to experience some pain because the inner tooth tissue becomes exposed. As a result, your tooth is likely to become extra sensitive to pressure, air, and even hot or cold temperatures. With the inner tooth exposed, you\u2019re going to want to avoid eating anything that is hard or overly hot or cold until after the restoration has been restored.<\/p>\n

As soon as your restoration comes out, you need to call your dentist right away. While it\u2019s not an emergency in most cases, you will require treatment. While you\u2019re waiting for your appointment, you can apply clove oil to help control the tooth pain.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve had a crown come out, you may be able to slip the crown back over the tooth. However, before doing so, you need to clean the inside of the crown well to reduce the risk for infection. Do not use any household glues or forms of cement to try to hold the crown in place.<\/p>\n
