If you lose a filling or crown, schedule an emergency dental visit with Dr. Rangel. Until we’re able to see you, be sure to hang onto your crown if you still have it so we can reattach it without having to get a new one.
To protect the open tooth, you may use sugar-free gum to cover the cavity and protect it. Cavities left untreated can develop into more complications, including tooth loss, so we’ll work to get you in as soon as we can so an infection doesn’t appear.
