OK, so I had a tooth that got root-canaled years ago and I had it crowned last year due to chipping the tooth.
Well, the crown fell out yesterday and I don't know whether it has fallen out with a broken piece of tooth, or whether it is supposed to be the post. If it were broken, then surely I'd feel the rest of the tooth inside the gum but I can't feel anything.
I have never had a crown fall out before and I'm worrying that it cannot be re-cememted. I've only had it shy of one year, so not sure why it has fallen out.
Can it be saved??
Next question is: what happens next? I don't want an implant, as it's far too invasive and I can't afford it. However, I was told by my dentist that the two teeth adjacent to the crown will need to be crowned at some point, so, would a bridge be better?
Any help to stop my worrying mind, because it's bad enough this happened on the weekend and my dentist isn't open until Monday
