Tooth cap repair

2018-12-21 05:28:09
I had done RC around 5 years back and the tooth cap has came out. Although, I tried to fix it back myself couple of times it did not work. There is no visible damage to the cap as far as I know. However, I am not sure why it does not get fixed.

U will not be able to fix the cap on your own. Visit a dentist and he shall fix it on using a suitable cement. Keep your cap safe and sterile probably in a clean box or packet. Do not delay the fixation, it might hamper the fit of the cap and also invite other complications like infection, food lodgement, difficulty in chewing etc.
Next Steps
visit a dentist and get it fixed.
Health Tips
Donot delay. keep the crown safely
