What Should I Do If My Crown Is Falling Off?

By Smyl ManateePosted on Posted in Dentist BlogTagged , , , , , , , , , No Comments on What Should I Do If My Crown Is Falling Off?

A dental crown is designed to protect your tooth and restore your smile—but sometimes, it can loosen or even fall off. While it might feel alarming, don’t panic. A falling crown is actually a fairly common dental issue, and knowing what to do can help you avoid further damage.  1. Why Do Crowns Fall Off? Crowns can loosen or come off for several reasons: Wear and tear over time Decay underneath the crown Weak or broken cement Biting down on something hard Grinding or clenching teeth   2. What to Do Immediately If your crown falls off, here’s what you should do right away: Save the crown – Keep it in a clean container and bring it to your dentist. Protect your tooth – The exposed tooth may feel sensitive. You can apply dental wax or temporary dental cement (available at pharmacies) to cover it until you see your dentist. Avoid chewing on that side – Stick to soft foods and avoid sticky or hard items. Keep the area clean – Brush gently around the tooth and rinse with warm salt water.   3. What NOT to Do Don’t try to superglue the crown back—it’s unsafe. Don’t ignore the issue—leaving a tooth exposed can lead to decay or infection.   4. When to Call Your Dentist You should contact your dentist as soon as possible if: The crown has completely fallen off You feel pain or sensitivity The tooth underneath feels sharp or is cutting your tongue You notice swelling or discomfort in your gums   5. How Smyl Manatee Can Help At Smyl Manatee, we’ll examine your crown and tooth to determine the best solution. In many cases, we can re-cement the crown back in place. If the crown or tooth is damaged, we’ll recommend a new restoration to protect your smile. 👉 Pro Tip: With our Smyl Care Plan, you’ll have access to affordable preventive care and discounts on restorative treatments—so if your crown ever needs attention, you’re covered.     Conclusion If your crown is falling off, don’t ignore it.
