My Crowns Just Dropped Out

[nailit]

Seem to have a 'strandy' bit dangling down.
Whats that?

the peg
you need to see a dentist

Just chewing on a gum and my crown fell out

[nailit]

''the peg''
Its not a peg tough.
Its like a bit of stuck food or something

[Peter Pedant]

it is still the peg
and you still need to see a dentist

I agree with PP. it happened to me a few years ago. I had to have a new crown

[nailit]

Just looking at my crown, its still got bits off filling in it or something.

What a ***. You can buy dental cement from Amazon for a fix if you can’t get an appointment. Fuji9.
GC Fuji IX GP Gold Label 9 GP Mini Dental Free Ship Dental Cement Non-Sticky £30. Good luck nails.
A toffee did for my expensive filling.

sounds like the peg's snapped, which isn't good news

[nailit]

ok thanks.
All them dreams of loosing teeth are all coming true
:-)

If its a peg (solid)
why can I feel a 'wavy' bit?

[Tilly2]

Can you not remember having the peg inserted when you had your crown fitted?

I just closed my eyes Tills and let the dentist get on with it.
Dont know what she did.
But just left with something dangling down now which feels like a piece of spinich,,,

Had 2 crowns close together done at the same time.
Ironically, broke 2 teeth a few weeks ago at the same time as well (different ones)
Dont think that Im meant to have teeth...

[Tilly2]

See if you can gently dislodge it with a toothbrush.

Why is it not good news ael?

[aelmpvw]

usually means the crown is broken and cannot be replaced

[nailit]

Its going up into my gum Tills.
Ill ring dentist in morning...

Ill be a first time Grandad in a month...might as well look the part
:-)
Just get the pipe and slippers

No big loss losing a tooth anyway.

I hope it's not a front tooth, Nails!
