\"Dental<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Dental crowns are the standard way to protect damaged teeth and restore their function, so you can continue to eat, speak, and smile normally. Today, they\u2019re usually made from resilient, tooth-colored ceramic that can be customized to match your natural enamel for beautiful, seamless results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These restorations can last anywhere from 5 to 15+ years if cared for properly, but that doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re invincible. If they wear down or if the underlying tooth develops disease or decay, they could fall out. Continue reading to learn about 4 steps to take to get emergency<\/a> help if yours has been dislodged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step #1: Find Your Restoration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a chance your dentist can repurpose your dental crown or cement it back in place, depending on what happened and its current condition. Try to find your restoration and any pieces that may have fallen off, taking care not to swallow any that might still be in your mouth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, you can gently rinse the repair with water and store it in a safe container to bring with you to your dental appointment. If the underlying tooth is in good shape and your crown is in one piece, you might try cementing it back in place with a small bit of temporary dental cement or wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #2: Rinse Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Athletes and others who participate in team sports and other close-contact activities are prone to sustaining injuries that can knock out a tooth or crown. If you\u2019ve taken a blow to the face or have fallen down and hurt yourself, you should also rinse your mouth out to remove any dirt, debris, or blood that can contribute to a potential infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #3: Address Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you didn\u2019t sustain a painful injury, your dental crown was covering a tooth that might feel sore or sensitive once it\u2019s exposed. You can try placing a cold compress against the tender side of your face to help reduce associated aches or inflammation, depending on your circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also often safe to take the recommended dosage of over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to ease discomfort until you arrive at your dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step #4: Contact Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t done so already, it\u2019s time to contact your dentist for an appointment. Many providers reserve time for urgent situations and can offer same-day visits if you\u2019ve had a dental emergency, such as a dislodged restoration, so you don\u2019t have to wait long to be seen. Your dental team might also provide additional care instructions over the phone for you to follow in the meantime, such as not biting or chewing with the injured tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive at the scheduled time, your provider will examine your condition to determine an appropriate treatment plan, such as repairing or replacing your dental crown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
