Protect Your Smile This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time for joy and connection, but a lost filling or crown can put a damper on your celebrations. Taking the right steps can protect your tooth and keep discomfort at bay until you can visit your dentist at Blythewood Village Dentistry for a permanent solution.

Quick Fixes for Immediate Relief

If a crown has fallen off, clean it gently and try to reposition it using temporary dental adhesive available at most pharmacies. For a lost filling, dental wax or sugar-free gum can cover the exposed tooth, protecting it from sensitivity and irritation. 

While these temporary fixes help in the short term, avoid chewing on the affected side and stay away from hard or sticky holiday foods to prevent further damage. 

Why Timely Treatment Matters

Leaving a lost filling or crown unaddressed can expose your tooth to decay, infection, or even structural damage. Scheduling a repair promptly ensures your tooth is restored before the issue worsens. This proactive approach lets you enjoy the holidays with confidence and comfort.
