It\u2019s often possible to just put your restoration back in place, so it\u2019s worth trying to bring it in without much damage. Once you\u2019ve secured it, rinse it off to prevent any dirt from building up and put it in a safe place for transport. In many cases, placing it back in your mouth with a temporary dental cement is often a good move, as it ensures that you won\u2019t accidentally lose it and keeps you comfortable in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your next step should be to call your dentist. They\u2019ll usually be happy to bring you in for a same-day emergency appointment, where they\u2019ll be able to evaluate the damage and advise you on your next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will Happen at the Dentist\u2019s Office?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re at your emergency appointment, your dentist will take the time to carefully examine the integrity of your tooth. If it looks like your tooth is in good condition and the crown is replaceable, they\u2019ll stick it back in place and adhere it with a high-quality dental cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, they\u2019ll furnish you with a temporary crown while they order you a new restoration. Once it\u2019s been completed, you can return to the office and leave once again with a whole new smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At DentCare Dental Center, we know life can get hectic.
