Have you had a filling or crown come loose or fall out?
Millennium Dental Clinic is a family focused dental Practice offering an emergency dental service. If you have any form of dental emergency, please contact us, we'll be pleased to help. We also offer a full range of Private dental treatments.
As a temporary measure, stick a piece of sugarless gum into the cavity (sugar-filled gum will cause pain) or use an over-the-counter dental cement.
If a crown falls off, make an appointment to see us as soon as possible and bring the crown with you. If you can't get to us right away and the tooth is causing pain, use a cotton swab to apply a little clove oil to the sensitive area (clove oil can be purchased at your local chemist or in the spice aisle of your supermarket).
If possible, slip the crown back over the tooth. Before doing so, coat the inner surface with an over-the-counter dental cement, toothpaste, or denture adhesive, to help hold the crown in place. Do not use super glue! Contact us as soon as possible.
