One of my porcelain crowns became lose how long will tempory cement hold a crown for?
Q. Hi i have 2 porcelain crowns on front top 2 teeth(my own teeth in part are underneath), 1 has become a little lose, my dentist says it’s wobbly but not wobbly enough to fall off(he pulled the crown before he siad this) however when i grip it i can feel movement(slight rock backwards & forwards and a clicking noise) i am about to go on holiday so i am very worried. Please can youy advise if there is such a thing as wbbly but not enough to fall out! p.s how lon will tempory cement hold a crown for? Your reply would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
A. There is very small risk that even a solid tooth might fall out. the risk of a wobbly tooth is a bit higher. however if it not willing to come out with moderate pressure I would suggest it is better to risk it falling out than risk damage by using too much pressure to remove and recement Rob
