Asked By:ackgirl in Arlington, VA

The temporary crown came off around 6 PM Saturday and I can't see the dentist until 8AM Monday. I tried to recement it myself based on what I've seen online, but the material I was trying to cement with was painful on the tooth so I took it off. Is it OK to leave the temp crown off until the dentist can put it back properly? Right now I've put it back without cement, but I'm afraid to leave it like that overnight in case it comes off and I swallow it.
