Dental emergencies are usually a broken tooth, abscesses, pulpitis or pericoronitis. Whenever there is pain involved, we consider it to be an emergency.

Is a lost crown an emergency?

If it’s causing you pain or if it is a front tooth, it can be considered an emergency. Regardless of the circumstance, the crown will need to be replaced, as there is a risk of compromising the tooth structure that is left.
