Lost Fillings Or Crowns

Fillings are used by dentists to fill the cavities in the teeth. Crowns are a covering made for the top of the damaged teeth. A filling or crown comes out due to the tooth decaying inside it. Due to the decay, a part of the tooth is destroyed, and therefore, it becomes loose to hold the filling and crown.

Since decay sometimes changes the shape of the tooth, the dentist will have to prepare the crown again. Also, if a crown goes missing for a long time, the teeth take the crown space, and then it does not fit properly. So, there are chances of it falling off. If you lose a filling, the dentist removes the decay and the leftover old filling to replace the same with a new filling.

A lost filling or crown can be a bit painful as the exposed tooth is sensitive. So, if you feel that you have lost the crown and filling, immediately make an appointment with Franklin Bright Smiles.
