Silver cap in the tooth fell off. See a dentist?
Patient: My son was laying down in bed and i heard him say My tooth i turned around and it was his silver cap. Just his cap not his tooth. He says it doesnt hurt him it just feels funny. A month or so back he was eating chips and I know he didnt chew it correctly and he poked himself. After that i started to see a redness on the side of his gum (right where the cap fell off) i put baby orajel on it and gave him tylenol the redness went away so did the swelling . I have no clue what to do its already late to go to a dentist is there anything i can do till the morning? Im freaking out! Doctor: Hello there, that's quite usual.....crown getting dislodged. There are various reasons.If the retention is not good it gets dislodged. Check out from your dentist if the same can be retained or requires a change of crown. It's adviced to get it restored.
