Should I see the dentist ?

Thank you Kittylester. I think I have felt wary of finding myself 'in the chair' without enough thought first. I might be trying to dodge the issue though and you are right in what you say

They are only seeing emergencies. Yours would be classed as a cosmetic problem. Unless you can find a private dentist willing to fix the problem.

Why not ring your surgery and ask their advice?

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
