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: 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.
