I have been a member for a long time and this is the first time I need to ask for your good advice, Shocked today when the cap on one of my front teeth came off. I am well over the most vulnerable age for Covid 19 but ok in health and have been self isolating since the beginning. I don't know whether I should see a dentist and wonder if there's likely to be a cap's base left in the gum ? Wish I could add a smiley but there isn't one to for me now lol

I imagine this has been sorted as it was October last year...

I've been to my dentist 3 times since Covid reared its ugly head.

No issues at all with having to make an appointment. For an emergency, pain, I was seen an hour after phoning.

I also had a crown bite the dust. No pain. I had an appointment within days and then 2 more were made. No problems at all.

I'd definitely call your dentist and explain. Good luck!

Oh, well spotted!

And yes, hopefully the OP isn't still capless!
