Steps to Take When Your Dental Crown Falls Off

While having your dental crown fall out is rare, it can happen, especially as the crown ages or if the tooth underneath experiences decay. Luckily, the Boise Family Dental Care team is here to provide expert assistance.

Immediate Actions to Take if Your Dental Crown Falls Off

The first thing to do when your dental crown falls off is to remain calm. While losing a crown can be stressful, by staying calm, you can complete the following steps accurately and confidently:

1

Call Boise Family Dental Care

If a crown falls out, your first step should be to make an appointment with Boise Family Dental Care. You can call us or complete our online contact form, and our team will get back to you as quickly as possible.

2

Assess the Damage

Take some time to look over your crown and assess the level of damage. If there isn’t a tooth inside the crown, our team may be able to reattach it. If the crown and your tooth come dislodged, this may require a longer appointment with our team as we learn more about what may have caused the issue and decide on an effective solution.

3

Clean the Crown

You will want to bring your crown to the dentist to show them what happened. Remember to clean your crown and put it in a plastic bag to bring to your appointment.

4

Protect Your Tooth

Since crowns protect damaged teeth, you will want to ensure your tooth still has the protection it needs before you can get a replacement. This means avoiding hot and cold foods and chewing on the opposite side of your mouth.

Is a Crown Falling Off a Dental Emergency?

Generally, having your dental crown fall out is not a dental emergency. However, if the jagged edges of your tooth without the crown are sharp, you should seek emergency dentistry services, as you are at risk of cutting your tongue and cheeks inadvertently.
In the rare case that you swallow your dental crown by accident, you should call a medical doctor immediately. They can perform an X-ray to make sure you simply swallowed instead of breathing in your crown.
