We highly recommend that you take care of your dental crown. But accidents can happen that can lead to a broken or chipped crown. The good news is that it’s not impossible to fix. As soon as you see that the crown is chipped, you should first examine the area. See if there are missing pieces. If your crown is loose, you should immediately call your dentist to know what to do next.
Never pull the crown off unless your dentist tells you to do so. It is a very rare case where removing the crown yourself is necessary. However, it can happen if there is a possibility that you could swallow it accidentally.
