Silver Cap Fell Off Baby Tooth. Many children require the dental treatment of a silver cap or crown to cover a baby tooth. My DD had dental work last febuary so almost a year ago and on thursday morning one of the caps fell off or broke off or what ever.
However the primary baby molars typically do not come out until around age 10 and sometimes as late as 12-13 years old. My cousin had a baby tooth that is loose but it has a silver cap on it. Its designed to support the weak or damaged tooth.
He had 4 or 5 crowns put on his teeth.
If the dental crown is intact our dentists may be able to place it back on your childs tooth. Knowing what to do if your dental crown falls off partly depends on the state of the crown. If the tooth is loose and will be coming out soon then the crown popping off as long as there is no pain is most likely not a huge issue.
