\"manDental crowns in Spring<\/a> are among the cornerstones of modern dentistry. They can protect damaged teeth, restoring their strength and strength. In many cases, a crown can last for decades. In other cases, however, you may find that a crown suddenly falls out. Don\u2019t panic! While this is a serious situation, your dentist will be able to help remedy matters. Here are some guidelines for what to do if you lose one of your crowns.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How to Manage Your Pain<\/h2>\n

Sometimes, a crown may come loose because the tooth underneath it is suffering from decay. When its protection is gone, the tooth becomes vulnerable. Pressure, temperature changes, and even air may make you extremely uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

To lessen your pain, you use a cotton swab to apply a little clove oil to the area. The oil contains eugenol, a natural antibacterial and anesthetic agent. It\u2019s also very effective at reducing inflammation in the mouth. You can find clove oil in the spice aisle of your local grocery store; it\u2019s also available in many drugstores. You can also take other mild painkillers. However, if you use ibuprofen or something similar, don\u2019t put it right next to the tooth because doing so may cause chemical burns.<\/p>\n

Another aspect of managing your pain deals with your habits. Be careful not to chew on the side of your mouth that lost the crown, and don\u2019t consume any foods or drinks that are extremely hot or cold.<\/p>\n

What to Do With the Crown<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t throw away the crown, assuming that it is a lost cause. When you go in for your appointment with your dentist in Spring, they may be able to reattach the crown.<\/p>\n

You might even be able to temporarily replace the crown yourself. First, gently clean its inside. Then, use dental cement or dentures adhesive to attach the crown to your tooth. This will give the vulnerable little chomper a bit of extra protection until a professional can take a look at it. However, don\u2019t force the crown back onto the tooth if it doesn\u2019t seem to fit. You don\u2019t want to accidentally cause further damage!<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Important to Get to the Dentist Soon<\/h2>\n

If you replace the crown and aren\u2019t in any pain, you might be tempted to skip going to the dentist. However, that is not a wise idea. The shape of your tooth may have changed, meaning that the crown doesn\u2019t fit as well as it used to. Your dentist might have to prepare your tooth again so its protective cover will stay in place for many more years to come. The dentist will also inspect the tooth under the crown and make sure it isn\u2019t infected or suffering from any other problems.<\/p>\n

A lost crown is nothing to scoff at! Use the above tips to lessen your pain and prevent further damage to your precious tooth.<\/p>\n
