Temporary crown came off and can't see dentist til Monday. Is it ok if I don't recement it myself?

ackgirlJul 29, 2017
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.

I think you should first go for root canal treatment then Invisalign and after that Teeth Whitening treatment would be better.

This is not a normal thing that you were facing same problem after 3 years of the treatment. It needs to properly examine your teeth to find out the problem. I would recommend you to consult some other dentist regarding for the treatment.

Sorry to hear that. the reason for dark spot of metal showing is due to the adjustment your dentist needed to make your bite right! The lab or the ceramist either put a thick metal so there was not enough room for porcelain in that spot, or your dentist missed to prepare your tooth on that spot...

Thanks for asking the question. Well, dear without seeing the condition of your mouth it is difficult to give you right suggestion but still as per your description you have pain due to gum disease because feeling any discomfort or sensitivity after a crown is not normal. So you should visit...

You might want to see your dentist to recheck your crown and gums. It sounds like your crown might be putting too much pressure on your gums. Good luck.
