Ramin Mahallati, DDS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. You most likely will pass the crown normally. From your description, you'll need a new crown made. I recommend following up with your Dentist as soon as possible or consulting a Prosthodontist. A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental crowns.

Hi and thank you for your question. The most important thing is to make sure if it has passed through your system and into your poop then check in with your dentist who made the crown and let them know what happened. Please be sure to seek a qualified professional for any dental treatment. Thank you and best of luck!

As long as you swallowed it and didn't aspirate it into your lungs, you'll be fine. It will pass with time. But you'll probably want a new crown made.
