Some patients opt for long lasting crowns made of gold or other strong metals but many patients prefer ceramic material because it can be made to look like neighboring teeth.
Ceramic tooth fell out.
This is because your dentist can refit it before the underlying tooth becomes further damaged or decayed.
Second if you chose to ignore this and your adult tooth falls out you should go to a dentist immediately.
Porcelain crowns are particularly common and as they age many do become loose and fall out.
Dental patients often tend to swallow a temporary crown since the adhesive used to hold it in place is more likely to fail and the crown may be dislodged while chewing a mouthful of food and swallowed before you know it s missing.
First off if an adult tooth gets loose you should see a dentist.
Sometimes crowns fall off.
The longer you wait for your crown to be out of your mouth the higher the chance your mouth has of multiplying tons of bacteria which will then lead to decay.
Once decay happens inside of your mouth and on your crown your cosmetic dentist will no longer be able to reuse your crown which will eventually cost you more money in the long run.
Reasons include decaying of the underlying tooth and loosening of the cementing material used to place the crown.
