I didn't like where this thread title was going, baw.

But, seriously, no - almost did one time when it popped off, but I caught it just in time. Heck, it was re-affixed and I'm chawing with it many years later.

A sceptor, yes. A crown, never. I had superior posture for a full week.

No, but I heard of a beauty pageant contestant that swallowed something to get a crown.

I recently had a patient swallow a 5 unit bridge. She called in and I asked if she had it and she said not yet.

She came in 5 days later and after cleaning it, we re cemented the bridge.

I guess her constitution is a bit pokey.

Actually swallowed one about 3 weeks ago exactly the same way as you (root canal thank goodness). Went in and they did the mold and sent it off. Went last week and put the new one in.

Going back tomorrow as now I am having a constant dull pain on the other side from doing all of my chewing over there for 2 weeks. FML

You can go to urgent care and have a chest X-ray done cheap and they will be able to see if its passing through if you don't want to wait to pass it. If it is the same dentist that placed it they probably we charge you full price for a new one. You might can get away with a little more than their lab cost. Or they might stick it to you so get to straining!

I was eating earlier and I realized my mouth felt different, probed with my tongue and my molar was gone.
It was a crown I had to get when I broke a tooth on a popcorn kernel about five years ago.
I didn't even realize it pulled loose.

Made dentist appointment and they told me to do something unthinkable. Either that or get a new one made....

I was wondering since this is common, has anyone else toilet dived for a missing crown?


This could come back to bite you in the arse.

It's the same dentist and they did give me a discount at cost.

So that is the bright side.

Just when you think every topic has been covered on the OT...

Toilet diving for a new crown out of nowhere.

Warm salty water works every time! Be standing in front of the toilet when you drink it because it will come back up before you can get your head forward again.

Even if you decide not to put it back in your mouth, you still need to make sure you pass it. Crowns have metal in them.

I hear there is this thing that makes he frown while you wait. Of course you have to go to a dentist that has one.

Just shite on some concrete and pancake it flat with your shoe. You should feel or see it.

Didn't swallow. My crown came off while eating a gummy worm and on next chew I crushed down on the crown and cracked another tooth. Dentists really suck. I don't trust em.

I wouldn't wait it out. That lost crown could get caught up in the colonic plaque which builds up like spackling in the folds of your intestines. You could be carrying around 20 lbs. of spackling.

tl/dr: For every colon a crown?

Yes they can and do.
At least the female ones. Usually firmly Type As though.
