Lost or Loose Fillings & Crowns Near You
What Happens When a Filling or Crown Becomes Loose
Chewing hard foods or ice
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Decay under the filling or crown
Normal wear and tear
When a filling or crown becomes loose, bacteria can slip underneath and start to infect or damage the tooth. This often leads to pain when you bite or sensitivity to hot and cold foods. If you notice any of these symptoms, see a dentist near you to avoid the problem getting worse.
What to Do If You Lose a Filling or Crown
If your filling or crown falls out, save it. Clean your mouth gently with saline or warm salt water. Don’t chew on that side until you see the dentist. And don’t use glue or household products to reattach it, as this can damage your tooth. Rather, call 17th Avenue Dental Choice at (403) 265-4400 right away.
