How to Take Care of Your Temporary Crown

I think too often routine procedures are taken for granted by all members of the dental team and even our patients. Such was the case recently where a patient of ours returned to our office to have two crowns placed. Unfortunately the patient’s temporary crowns had fallen out and he didn’t understand why we take the time to make a temporary crown.

One of the reasons for a temporary crown is for your comfort. Without the temporary crown the tooth may become exceptionally sensitive. Even breathing cool air can elicit a painful response from the tooth.

A temporary crown is also placed to maintain the tooth position in the jaw. It is possible that without a temporary in place the tooth can begin to erupt because there is nothing for the tooth to occlude against. The temporary crown also is there to protect your gums and help them to stay healthy while awaiting the final crown. All of these facts add up to that the temporary crown helps to make the cementation of the permanent crown easier.

If you should have a temporary crown that comes off prematurely, please call us at 561-394-9000. We will arrange an appointment to have the temporary recemented. If you can’t get to office, you can place some denture adhesive or tooth paste in the temporary crown and place it back on the tooth.

Your temporary crown is an integral part of the restorative process to ensure a smooth transition to the permanent crown. If there is a problem with your temporary crown please contact us as soon as you are able to.
