Keep Your Smile Safe This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time for joy and celebration, but a lost filling or crown can put a damper on the festivities. Knowing how to address the problem quickly can protect your tooth and keep discomfort under control until professional urgent care is available at Skyview Dental.

Temporary Fixes to Maintain Comfort

If a crown comes off, clean it gently along with the exposed tooth. You can use temporary dental adhesive to secure it back in place. For a lost filling, applying dental wax or sugar-free gum over the affected area can reduce sensitivity and protect the tooth from further damage

While these temporary measures can provide relief, be cautious with your eating habits. Stick to softer foods and avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent additional complications. These fixes are not long-term solutions but can help you get through the holidays comfortably. 

Why Timely Treatment Is Essential

A lost filling or crown leaves your tooth exposed, increasing the risk of decay, infection, and structural damage. Scheduling a dental visit promptly ensures your tooth is restored before the issue escalates, allowing you to enjoy the rest of the season with confidence.
