Dental crowns and fillings are commonly placed to restore a tooth’s health and function while protecting the tooth from additional damage. In some cases, temporary crowns and fillings are used while waiting for a permanent restoration to be completed. Crowns and fillings are very effective and durable; however, it’s not uncommon for a crown or filling to become loose or even fall out. If you’re had a crown or filling fall out, don’t panic! When this situation occurs, it rarely constitutes as a dental emergency, but you will need to call your dentist right away. In the meantime, there are many things you can do at home. As your dentist for fillings and dental crowns in Montclair NJ, we have everything you need to know in the event you lose a restoration.
