If you had a filling fall out or a crown came off, it’s important to come see us right away.
Crowns and fillings protect delicate parts of your teeth and gums from infection and decay. If you delay replacing these, you could end up with longer-term issues such as tooth loss, bacterial infection in your gums, or plaque eating what’s left of your tooth.
Put the crown in a safe place and give us a ring to set up your emergency appointment. We’ll have a thorough look to see what’s going on, clean up your tooth and reapply the crown. If the filling came out, we’ll clean out the tooth and refill, assuming there’s no underlying issues that need to be dealt with.
If you lose a filling or a crown, it’s okay – it happens. Put it in a safe place and give us a call. We’ll gladly evaluate your mouth to ensure no further injuries or infections have occurred as a result of your injury, and help you replace the filling or crown in a timely manner.
