Treatment
It's important to deal quickly with a loose or broken filling or crown. Once a filling or crown has lost its seal, a cavity will quickly form. A cavity in the area of a restoration is already past the first line of defense of the tooth. Waiting beyond a few days may allow the decay to reach the nerve. Then, the only treatment option is a root canal. Another risk of waiting is that the filling or crown might fall completely out of your tooth during the night. If it enters your windpipe, you may be headed for surgery in the hospital.
