If your dental crown comes off, retrieve it immediately and contact your dentist for an emergency appointment. Rinse the crown with water and store it in a clean container. Avoid using household glues to reattach it, as these are toxic and can cause permanent damage to your tooth and gums.

To manage the area until your appointment:

• Protect the crown: Keep it in a safe place so your dentist can potentially recement it.
• Maintain hygiene: Gently brush the exposed tooth to keep the area clean and free of bacteria.
• Adjust your diet: Eat soft foods and avoid chewing on the affected side of your mouth.
• Temporary fix: If necessary, use a temporary dental adhesive from a pharmacy to hold the crown in place.
