My crown is falling out...what can I do?
I have two crowns (after root canals )in the front of my mouth on the top. one of my front teeth and then the one beside it. the front one started to wiggle and eventually fell out. now the one beside it is doing the same thing!! I don't have dental insurance so I have to go when I can afford it, and being a woman...this is quite embarrassing. Why would this be happening? Also..when the dentist put the first one back in...it hurt and he said that I shouldn't feel it at all. Any suggestions?

This exact same thing happened to me!
My dentist would not re cement for free, I needed a post inserted.
Ugh, so I started using this temporary dental cement made especially for crowns, bought it at Walgreens for about $5
It was not very good, my tooth would be loose by the end of the day, I couldn't eat or say anything starting with a F.
So, I got ghetto and put a tiny dab of superglue, it worked for like 6 months until I could save the money to get a post put in my mouth.
The dentist wasn't too happy but he said he's seen worse.
I was not about to walk around with missing front teeth.
I wonder why it hurt when he put the crown back in, you should have root canals where your crowns are. I hope it isn't something else like an abcess.
People next to earthen braces...!?
Check with your dentist. He or she should replace them for free. It sounds like they did not clean out the cavity good enough.
how long do you have to keep the rubberbands for your braces in?
When you get extra money, have another dentist take a look at the crowns, the original dentist may have done shoddy work. In the meantime, get some DenTemp OS to put the crowns back in. It's a short term solution but it may help until you can see a dentist. Good luck!
my baby is 3 1/2 months old is it too early for him to start teething?
The crowns are probably temporary (unless they were pre-existing when you had your root canals done). In either case, an appointment to recement the crowns by your general dentist shouldn't cost an arm and a leg... Don't wait too long because the teeth can shift, and even the slightest bit of shifting will make the crown not fit... alot of adjustments will need to be made or you may need new ones.
Good Luck!
Here is a real low cost way to have your teeth cleaned?
If your teeth "wiggle and fall out" it would stand to reason that the root of the tooth has loosened from the bone. Do you mean that the tooth, root and all fell out, or just the crown fell off the stump of tooth left in your mouth? If just the crown fell off the base of the tooth, the dentist SHOULD recement it at no charge. If when the crown is cemented to your tooth, the novocaine wears off and you experience pain, there may be a small amount of excess cement left around the base of the crown. That would cause not only discomfort, but redness and perhaps swelling. That can be taken care of very easily. Discuss this with your dental office. If the whole tooth came loose from the bone, you have a whole different story. . . .
