    Temporary crown came out?

    I had root canal some 2 weeks ago and then got a temporary crown a week before. While brushing a cap like structure fell off. The internal part of the tooth is yet not exposed. I can see some cement on the top of it.
    There is still 2 weeks to get my permanent crown. Should I go to dentist or there is nothing to worry as there is cementing material on the top of the tooth.

    Thanks.

    Oh ya - those things aren't glued on very well. I don't think it matters if you leave it off unless it's really hard to eat. Just don't try to crack any nuts with that stump of a tooth. Otherwise you can run into the dentist's office and have him glue it back on really quick.

    since the tooth had a root canal it shouldn't end up hurting, but since there is still 2 weeks left you should at least call the dentist and ask if he wants you to come in.
