What should I do if a filling or crown falls out?
If a filling or crown comes out, try to keep the restoration if you can and bring it with you to your appointment. In some cases it may be able to be reused or helps us assess what is needed.
Please contact the practice as soon as possible, either by phone or online booking, to arrange an appointment. When booking, it is helpful to let us know which tooth is affected, for example the "upper left second tooth from the back", and whether you are experiencing any pain or sensitivity.
Providing this information allows us to prepare appropriately and maximises our chance to help you on the day when you attend.
If the tooth is painful, sharp, or sensitive, try to avoid chewing on that side until you are seen.
