URGENT - Loose crown - Any dentists online?

10 replies

Hi there, I've had a crown fitted today with temporary cement as it was very sensitive. Anyway, it's now loose and every now & then really sensitive. I've called the emergency dentist an hour ago but still waiting for a call back. I know (or at least hope!) I'll get an emergency appointment with my own dentist tomorrow, but what do I do tonight?

Google says see if you can actually take the crown off so you don't swallow, or worse - inhale, it. I'm too much of a wimp to even try as it's so sensitive even with the crown on.

So do I try & remove & risk being in agony all night, or leave it alone and risk swallowing/inhaling it, or just stay awake all night?

Thank you, oh wise MNs

Put a shout out for MrsMerton, I think there's a hashtag or something.

Sorry, I don't understand what this means?

MrsMorton is a lovely poster on here and a dentist.

Thanks - I've just found her Dental Chronicles thread and asked my question there. She's responded to another question just now so hopefully she'll see mine too.

But I don't understand how to put a shout out for a particular poster?

Thanks for explaining - I'm a bit of a luddite.

Does the poster get notified when you use @username?
