During these uncertain times with COVID-19, we’ve had calls from some of our patients because they are experiencing some kind of tooth pain. They really don’t want to wait to see if “it will get better”. Normally, they would just call and come in for an appointment. However, because of the lockdowns, they are uncertain what they can do about this pain, and even if they can see a dentist.<\/p>\n
In this post, we\u2019ll address a common patient concern of a crown coming loose and falling off.<\/span><\/p>\n If you lost a dental crown<\/a>, what can you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n Crowns can become loose over time either because of wear and tear or something like decay. If one falls off, it’s not a pleasant experience, and you may be worried about increased sensitivity or damage to the underlying tooth.<\/p>\n First of all I want you all to know that we are here for you. Simply Email drvicky@smiledesignstudio.com.au or call the practice. All calls are diverted to Dr Vicky for any emergencies or online consults so you can be looked after.<\/p>\n Here are a few pointers as to what you can do in the meantime:<\/p>\n If in any doubt or distress, please don\u2019t, just pick up the phone and we will be on the other end to help you. The practice phones have been diverted to Dr Vicky herself; she is here to help and support you all through this time. We are here for you to support you at this time. We are in this together. Please reach out if you need us.<\/p>\n The spread of COVID-19 continues to affect us all. With the uncertainty of what is yet to come as a result of this pandemic, we continue to monitor the situation and remain focused on the health and safety of the patients we love, our dedicated staff, our community, and our families.<\/p>\n In accordance with the latest recommendations from the ADA (Australian Dental Association<\/a>), and to make sure we are doing our part to prevent unnecessary exposure to our patients and staff as well as the further spread of the virus, we will be deferring all routine dental treatments and restricting appointments to urgent treatment and emergencies only.<\/p>\nDealing With a Lost Crown \u2013 Dental Emergency<\/h1>\n
