Suggest Treatment For Toothache After Falling Of Crown

Sure, I'm researching Dentists in the area to go to first thing tomorrow morning. I had a crown come off about 2 months ago and the tooth is in very bad pain beginning today. I'm sure it will have to be extracted. I don't have dental insurance yet, just got medical but just ended a temporary position and don't have another to go to just yet.

I have gone through your query.

You must have seen your dentist soon after the crown got dislodged. You did not mention if a root canal therapy is done on the tooth.
The doctor will correlate the clinical picture and x-ray to decide on extraction or saving the tooth.

There are chances that you fracture the remaining crown present.So, please DO NOT chew anything on the tooth till you visit your dentist.
Take a analgesic if necessary.

Hope this helps.
