Crown got dropped off
Hi,
I got rct done in October and then a crown got installed in Nov 1st week. Recently (around 15 days back) my crown got dropped off. I couldn't go to a dentist anywhere due to lockdown. Please advise how many days can i wait to get the crown re-installed. Can i wait till lockdown gets lifted?

Days cant be predicted.. its always better to do it asap.. but seeing the scenario.. it is best to wait till lockdown.. after lockdown have a visit to ur dentist and if it fits than the same can be used otherwise a new crown may have to be made

Hi, Don’t worry too much about your crown getting dislodged. Once the situation improves you can ask your dentist to fix your crown back.
Next Steps
Keep that area clean as it might attract and lodge food particles.
Health Tips
Avoid eating anything very hard from the tooth that had the crown over it.

Hi..if you have the crown keep it safe n get it checked for the fit immediately after the lockdown. Do not attempt to place it back on your own else it can cause problem .
Until then avoid items on that tooth n brush properly to avoid food lodgement
