Helpez moi! I just swallowed my temporary crown!?
Answers:
Call your dentist so she knows you need a new temporary crown. Also, you do not want to walk around with the tooth exposed because you could damage it, making the crown being made useless.
As for having swallowed the temp, it'll come out when you defecate. Chances are, you won't notice.
Probably nothing. It will find its way to the city processing plant and you can go get another one glued on.
You should be careful eating and don't let it go without treatment for more than a few weeks.
As a practicing dentist, I encourage my patients to call the office when a temporary crown falls out.
In your case, as it is the weekend, call your dental office first thing Monday morning to set a time to have a new temporary crown cemented into place.
Do not be concerned with swallowing the temporary crown, it will pass through your body without you even knowing it. There is no safety/health concern with swallowing the temporary.
dont sweat it. when you go back you can always get another. hints the name TEMPORARY crown
No worries give your dentist a call on monday and he will make you another one. The crown will not do you any harm if you have swallowed it. If you think there is a chance you may have inhaled it you will need a chest xray.
Your temporary crown, even if it is a posterior or a molar crown, is made of either gold or stainless steel and porcelain and "will come out in the end", if you get my drift. Go to a drug store and get either comfort wax for braces and wrap your exposed tooth with it or get a temporary filling kit and use as directed. Both can be found in the dental isle. Call your dentist asap because the exposed tooth will be very sensitive to air, hot and cold. Hope this helps.
