Hi ther
Thanks for asking your query
Your history provided shows you need a proper dental treatment asap to save tooth structure because further delay may lead to extraction of crowned teeth
Once crown get loose or secondary infection develops around it then whole treatment has to be re evaluated by xray examination and clinical,if the canals are re infected then root canal has to be revised
All this dental treatment procedure will cost you again for this you have to talk to your dentist to give you some discount or allow you to pay the bills on installment,but it all depends on your dentist choice you have to talk to him for this concern
Meanwhile maintain good oral hygiene as crowned tooth needs proper care.
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to HCM forum,
Your condition needs an immediate care as one of your crown has came out and other also needs assistance.
Consult dentist ,have a thorough clinical and radiographical examination of your oral cavity.
If you are not able to spend such an amount, then you can visit any dental educational institute or government hospital for your treatment to be done.
Wishing you cure soon
Take care

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
The crown which has fallen down needs to be recemented,
As your gums have periodontal disease go for complete mouth scaling and polishing.
If you donot have dental insurance you can go to nearby dental school or any charitable trust where treatment can be done at reasonable prices.
At home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Hope this helps out.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Since the crown has fractured,it has to be replaced with a new after after eliminating underlying causes of periodontitis or pulpal infections.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
If you cannot afford the cost,you can approach dental camps or insurance companies regarding this.
Meanwhile,use soft interdental toothbrush as well as dental floss to clean your teeth.
Desensitising toothpaste as well as chlorhexidine mouthrinses has to be used to clean your oral cavity.
Hope this helps.
