I swallowed my temporary crown. How much shifting may occur in three days?

Question

I've had a root canal so there's no pain and my dentist can't be reached over the weekend.

Amber Garcia, DDS · Answer

Everyone is different. Some patients can go weeks without a temporary crown with no shifting. Some patient loose a temporary over a weekend and the teeth shift considerably. Definitely get a new temp as soon as you can. But a few days shouldn't create too much of an issue.

Hi:Missing the temporary for 1-2 days should not create any significant shift for your final crown.  Keep the area clean.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Jaime Cohen, DDS, MS · Answer

It usually takes more days than 3 to have a considerable amount of shifting, so it could need reprep.

I recommend you to see your dentist or somebody from the staff Monday.
