\"ReplacementIf you have a damaged tooth, a dental crown<\/a> is a great solution to return it to its previous glory. The custom-made caps are quite versatile, allowing them to be used for several restorative and even cosmetic purposes. Modern restorations aren\u2019t made of metal. Instead, they are comprised of all-ceramic material, but they remain equally durable. Unfortunately, even with the latest advancements in dentistry, crowns don\u2019t last forever. If you\u2019ve lost a dental crown in West Orange, do you know what to do? Here are 5 tips to make a stressful situation a bit easier.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Contact Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, losing a restoration, like a crown, is a dental emergency. Depending on your specific situation, you may not need to see a dentist the same day; however, you will need an appointment within the next few days. It\u2019s best to call your dentist, who will take the time to learn more about the condition of your tooth and if you\u2019re experiencing any symptoms to determine if you need an immediate visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Don\u2019t Lose Your Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Often, a crown fails because the tooth it\u2019s protecting has been compromised by decay, but that isn\u2019t always the case. Sometimes, it loses its bond with the tooth. No matter the cause, your dentist might be able to use the same restoration, so it\u2019s best to store it in a safe place until your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Protect Your Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your tooth will be vulnerable without the restoration; therefore, it\u2019s essential you protect it from any additional complications. You\u2019ll need to keep your tooth clean by maintaining your oral hygiene. It\u2019s also best to avoid chewing with your tooth until after it has been fixed to prevent causing any new damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Don\u2019t Use Glue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many over-the-counter repair kits that allow you to rebond your crown to your tooth. Unfortunately, this can cause bacteria to be trapped under the restoration. Your dentist recommends you leave the mending to the professionals. Never use glue or any other bonding material to reattach the crown. If you can\u2019t wait until your appointment, a small dab of toothpaste can help temporarily hold the crown in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Manage Any Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have any discomfort after losing the crown, take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Any swelling can be managed by applying a cold compress to the outside of the mouth for 10-minute intervals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contact Your Dentist Right Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
