Yes—you should continue to brush your teeth even if you've lost a crown. You'll need to brush gently and carefully around the open space, being careful not to irritate your gums.
You should also contact your Charlestown dentist as soon as possible. We'll need to assess your situation and determine the best way to restore your smile.
If your crown is not damaged, we may be able to replace it back into its home. Otherwise, we may need to make a new crown to replace it and restore your smile and dental health.
To protect your dental health, continuing your regular oral home care routine is essential while restoring your smile.
