Any suggestions on how to stop a slack crown from falling out? my dentist cant see me till 11 july?
Answer:
You can get a temporary cement at the store to recement it, but I am really surprised that the office can't get you in sooner. It would be best to call them back and see if they had a cancellation in the schedule that you can take. After all, you don't want to break the tooth under the crown or get new decay as then the crown won't fit. If the dentist is away they usually have another office covering for them. Good luck!

I'm pretty sure you can get a temporary cement at the drug store. It's been a few years ago, but I did. If you can still get it, be care full eating-it doesn't hold real well. But it will get you thru the day.
