Emergency Care
When a filling or crown comes off, the tooth underneath is exposed. Replacing it quickly keeps things from getting worse.
Save the crown — rinse it gently and place it in a small container. Often we can re-cement the same crown if the underlying tooth is healthy. Don’t try to glue it back on with anything from the drugstore.
The exposed tooth may be sensitive to hot, cold, and sweet. Avoid chewing on that side until you can come in. Replacement is usually a single-visit appointment.
Dr. Rameen Chaudhry, DMD is calm, unhurried, and trained at Case Western Reserve University with a General Practice Residency at Rutgers — and he believes the most important skill in dentistry is listening.
