My cap fell off, now what

[Gail T AGAIN]

I tried to call the dentist but that would be to much for him to call me back. My cap fell off and I am working till 4 so I hope he is going to be in tomorrow or at least if he is be in till 5. I am going to live on water and soft food, jello jello jello, I am afraid to damage the tooth. This happen to anyone else, I am freakin out over it?

Several times.

Actually, you can put the cap back on to keep the sensitivity down. It will be loose, so be careful you don't swallow it. The tooth underneath is very strong, don't worry.

It happened to me a couple of times. The first dentist said to stick it back on with toothpaste, it would be fine and it was. The second time it happened was with a different dentist and he was amazed how well it held. He said gum is also good. Hope this helps!

Walmart cells something you can put there temporarily. I can't remember what it's called, but it's located there with the floss and stuff.

Hope it doesn't hurt to bad!

Just stay away from the Krazy Glue

That's happened to me too. I just stuck it back on until I could get to the dentist. He cleaned the old cement off and glued it back in. It took about 3 minutes tops.
