I got two new crowns last October \u00a0and one of the has fallen off four times. The last time it fell off I was in Kansas visiting my father. My tooth was very sensitive to cold because the crown fell off, so I went to an urgent care. I waited for three hours, and they didn\u2019t do anything but tell me to go to a dentist. I found some temporary bonding stuff and put the crown back on. I basically lived on lukewarm soup for the next three days until I got back home. I called my dentist\u2019s office and they saw me right away. My dentist bonding the crown back on, but I asked how he would make sure this didn\u2019t happen again. He offered to remake the crown. When I returned to the office, he said he needed to reshape the tooth and add posts. And the billing coordinator told me that I would have a $325 fee. So now, I am wearing a temporary crown and trying to figure out what to do other than return to my dentist and pay him $325. So far, the temporary crown is staying on. How long do I have to find another dentist before I lose my tooth? – Thanks. Dylan<\/span><\/p>\n
