45. What happens if my child’s crown comes off?

If your child’s crown comes loose or falls off, try to save the crown and contact our office as soon as possible so we can evaluate the situation. In many cases, the crown can be re-cemented, but sometimes a replacement may be needed depending on the condition of the tooth and crown.

While waiting for your appointment:

-Avoid chewing on that side of the mouth to prevent further damage
-Keep the area clean by gently brushing and rinsing with water
-If your child has any sensitivity, stick to soft foods and avoid very hot or cold items
-Make sure the crown is stored safely and brought with you to the visit

Prompt care helps protect the tooth underneath and keeps your child comfortable. Our team will make the process quick, gentle, and stress-free.
