Don’t Let Dental Woes Steal Your Holiday Cheer

The holiday season is filled with excitement, but losing a filling or crown can throw an unexpected wrench into your plans. Acting quickly and knowing what to do can help protect your tooth and keep discomfort to a minimum until you can get professional care at Braden Dental Center.

Steps for Immediate Relief

If your crown comes off, carefully rinse it and the affected tooth to remove debris. Temporarily reattach the crown using dental adhesive available at most drugstores. If you’ve lost a filling, apply dental wax or sugar-free gum over the exposed area to minimize sensitivity and safeguard the tooth. 

While managing the issue, avoid chewing on the affected side and stay away from sticky or hard foods that might cause further damage. These solutions provide short-term relief but are not substitutes for professional dental care.

Why Quick Repairs Are Crucial

Without a filling or crown, your tooth is at greater risk of decay, infection, and potential structural damage. Addressing the problem promptly ensures that your tooth is restored and protected, allowing you to enjoy the rest of your holiday season worry-free.
