In some cases, if the crown is not damaged, your North Tampa, FL, dentist can re-cement it over the tooth. However, if the crown is cracked or damaged, you may need to replace it.
If your crown falls off, we encourage you to keep it in a safe place until your dental visit. Keeping the treated tooth clean is essential to prevent complications like decay or infection.
Why Crowns Fall Off
There are many reasons you might lose your tooth crown. For example, if you bite directly into sticky taffy with your treated crown. Tooth decay beneath the crown and gum recession can also lead to tooth crown loss.

Visiting the dentist every six months for dental cleanings and thorough exams
Brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice daily and consistently before bed
Avoiding sticky candies and similarly textured foods
