This is my first time to post on this forum.
I have a very loose crown that is, at this point, basically held in place along the inside gum line. It has been progressively getting looser over the last few days. My fear is that it will fall off while I'm sleeping and I will swallow or aspirate it.
The tooth has been checked (probable extraction and implant) and I have an appointment with a specialist later this coming week. This scares me as well but I will post about that separately.
I tried to get in to see my dentist on Friday but they were unable to see me and their office is closed until Wednesday (July 4th holiday weekend). I have seen this dentist for years and received high quality care so I have been surprised by how this has unfolded. I called their on-call dentist a couple of hours ago but have not received a response. There is an emergency dentist about an hour and a half away and I thought I would try to reach out to them tomorrow (Sunday).
At this point I don't know how much of an emergency this is because my anxiety is getting in the way. Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.
