What is Lost Filling & Crown?
Effects of Lost Filling & Crown
- You may not feel much pain as long as your dentine tubules are untouched.
- You may experience some pain. If the sensation is sharp and stabbing, that means the dentinal tubules are exposed to hot, cold or sweet food and drinks-though usually only for short periods!
- If you have constant throbbing pain in your tooth, it may be infected. Infected teeth can cause an abscess to form that is difficult and dangerous for dentists to remove – they need root canal surgery!
After losing a dental crown, you will have either of the following effects:-
- This can be caused by decay affecting the enamel beneath the crown, causing it to fall off. This can be caused by decay affecting the enamel beneath the crown, causing it to fall off. Occasionally, it can cause injury or trauma to the area.

What should you do if you lose a filling?
A toothache can be a major inconvenience. Even though it’s not life-threatening like an emergency would be, the discomfort and sensitivity of your teeth could cause other issues that make day-to-day tasks difficult. Here are the steps you can follow to reduce the pain.
- Apply clove oil to the affected area with a cotton swab to reduce pain.
- For quick repairs, purchase temporary dental cement.
- When dental cement is not available, you can use sugarless gum to cover the cavity. Go to your dentist as soon as possible
- Visit your dentist immediately to get proper treatment.

How long can I go after a filling or crown falls out?
DENTAL CROWN
Do not wait to visit your dentist because you must get a crown on the tooth before something happens to keep the teeth protected. If you don’t visit your dentist, a tooth can become weak and then be damaged more. If this happens, the crown will no longer fit tightly on that tooth as it did before because of how much the teeth have shifted from within in its absence.
DENTAL FILLING
It is recommended that you must visit your dentist on the same day. But if you are not experiencing much pain, here are the possible ways to help you avoid further complications till you meet your dentist
- Changing your diet slightly by including softer foods and avoiding sugary items, like soft drinks, will speed up tooth decay development.
- Additionally, be sure to brush gently inside the hole where a filling was previously placed to remove all food debris.
