Missing Filling and Cap Replacement in New York City

Lost Crown and Loose Filling Repair in Midtown, NYC

If your crown or filling comes loose, you’ll likely want a solution quickly. Although this situation isn’t always an emergency, sometimes it can cause significant pain or can present a choking hazard if it won’t come out all the way. Don’t delay in addressing your crown or filling problems in Midtown NYC! Let the professionals at Midtown Dental Care help you get your smile back on track.

Why Do Dental Crowns and Fillings Fail?

Although dental crowns and fillings are designed to be long-term or even permanent solutions for dental problems, they can become loose and fall out for a number of reasons. Causes for loose or missing crowns and fillings can include:

Problems with the crown/filling

Tooth decay underneath the crown/filling

Biting down on something hard like candy/popcorn

Pressure on teeth caused by grinding/clenching

Bonding agent has worn out

What Should I Do When My Crown or Filling Falls Out?

When your crown or filling fails, you should absolutely schedule an appointment to get it fixed within a week in order to protect the health of your mouth. If you are in significant pain, schedule an emergency dental appointment right away. In the meantime, you can take the following steps:

If your crown is dangling or your filling isn’t fully out, gently see if you can remove it yourself (otherwise, leaving it in your mouth could present a choking hazard or you could swallow it!).

Keep the area clean by brushing very gently and rinsing with saltwater in order to prevent bacteria from getting cozy.

Be careful about what you eat, as sticky and hard foods could worsen the problem or cause you pain.

There are temporary crown and filling fix kits sold in drugstores, but these are typically not recommended as you can risk further damaging the tooth.

Based on your own personal health history, you may want to take over-the-counter pain medication for any discomfort.
