Temporary crown has come off

[kam]

Hello everybody

I am at the moment waiting for my dentist to make my new crown which is due to be fitted next week. My dentist had made a temporary crown for me which was supposed to last till then.

As I was eating my cornflakes this morning, I suddenly noticed that the temporary crown became loose and it came out. I have to say that its not causing me any toothache at all.

Considering its not causing me any pain, is there anything that I should do or can I leave it as it is until I see my dentist next week?

Dear Kam
You should either go to back to your dentist to have the temporary crown re-cemented or do this yourself.
try to clean the inside surface of the crown and line it with some tooth paste, leave this for 10-15 min to slightly dry and fit it back on your tooth.
