Should I call my dentist office if my temporary crown is loose?

Question

I just got my temporary crown put on last week on Wednesday, Now my cron is a little loose.. I mean its not coming off the tooth or nothing like that. Should I wait another two weeks till the permanent crown is done of should I call them immediately..

Thank you for your question.  You should absolutely let your general dentist know.  You wouldn't want it to come off, as you may aspirate it or even damage your underlying tooth otherwise.  Any amount of time with an improper fitting temporary crown or no crown may affect the fit of your permament crown, so to avoid having to re-do your permament crown it's best you have a proper fitting temporary crown.  Good luck to you!

Get it re-cemented ASAP.  Tooth can move around and make the seating of the permanent one a problem.  You also might accidentally inhale it.  Not good.
