I can see the doctor in two days only because it's a weekend. Can I just wait two days and not to put it back until I see my dentist or I have to glue it with the temporary cement from the pharmacy?
Answer: What to do if temporary crown came off? Temporary crowns can come off the best thing to do is to place the temporary crown back on the tooth. Sometimes it will hold good enough till you see your dentist and avoid hot and cold foods. If due to lack of retention, you can get dental cement from pharmacy and place a little amount inside the crown and place it back on and follow the directions. You always want to put the crown back in your mouth so teeth do not shift and your teeth are not sensitive.

Answer: Very important to retain the Temporary crown on the tooth. Visit the nearest dentist in a day or two to get the temporary crown fixed with a temporary cement. I will not suggest Self cementation using over the counter dental cements. Delaying too much will cause migration of adjacent teeth and supra eruption of opposing teeth and the impression measurements will not match with the teeth position in the mouth. Thereby outcome of the treatment will not be good.

Answer: Temporary came off Call your dentist and get in to recement the temporary as soon as possible. Until then, place some Fixodent in the crown and put it back on yourself. Wipe away the excess. You need to keep it covered so it does not become sensitive and is not exposed. Also, the tooth can drift slightly and the tissue may overgrow if it is uncovered for too long.

Answer: Temporary crowns are important If your temporary crown falls off or breaks while you're waiting for your final crown to be delivered, first, I recommend you call your dentist's office. If they are closed, leave a message. If the crown is still in tact and you're able to figure out how it fits back on the tooth, you can actually buy over the counter temporary cement and put it back on yourself. I would recommend to clean the inside of the crown as best you can, put a small amount of the temporary cement inside the crown and push it back on the tooth with firm pressure. Then, make sure to try to remove the excess temporary cement that extrudes out (with a toothpick or something similar, but don't try too hard to push around it or it may come off again). Teeth can shift in as little as 24-28 hours so it is important to have the temporary crown hold it in place so your final crown will fit.
