my plastic crown fell out when flossing

Q. Im having a crown fitted for one of my molars, and today i had the fillings done, impressions and was told it will be ready to be fitted in 2 weeks time, but after my meal today i was flossing my teeth and im not exactly sure what was stuck on my molar (i think it was a plastic crown) but it fell out after flossing, what should i do?

A. Hi,

I suggest you make an appointment to see your dentist, as it may be that the temporary you had has simply come loose and requires refixing. It does happen, and normally only takes a few minutes to correct.
