Common Dental Cap and Bridge Emergencies

Loose or Dislodged Cap/Bridge – A loose or completely fallen-off cap or bridge can expose sensitive tooth structures, leading to discomfort. This can be caused by weakened cement, decay, or external trauma.

Fractured or Chipped Restoration – Biting into hard foods or accidental impacts can cause cracks or breakages, affecting both aesthetics and functionality.

Pain or Sensitivity – If a capped or bridged tooth starts hurting or becomes sensitive, it might indicate decay beneath the restoration, gum recession, or an improper bite.

Swelling or Infection – Inflammation or abscess formation around the restored tooth may point to an underlying infection requiring urgent care.

Immediate Steps to Take

If the cap or bridge comes off, keep it safe and avoid chewing on the affected side. Over-the-counter dental cement can temporarily reattach it until professional help is available.

For pain or sensitivity, rinse with warm salt water and take a pain reliever if needed. Avoid consuming extremely hot or cold foods.

In case of breakage, avoid chewing hard foods and visit a dentist as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

If swelling occurs, apply a cold compress and seek immediate dental attention.
