A member asked:
My temp crown came out and i can't get it to stay in. by the time dentist sees me it will have been out about 50 hours. will this cause perm crown not to fit? how bad is it to go 2 days with no temp?

Go to pharmacy and get DENT TEMP which is a putty like substance and put a little in temp and place back on tooth as you look in mirror to make sure it is on correctly. You can go two days without it but don.t eat sweets or put pressure on tooth. No biting on bones.

Should be ok as long as it is not overly sensitive. Teeth can drift slightly if temp is off too long. I suggest you call your dentist and discuss with him.
