Answers:
It isn't the end of the world if your temporary crown comes off!. You don't need to find a new dentist!. Mine came off eating Dove chocolates, of all things!. and yeah, it hurt like H**L!!
But, if you call your dentist's office they may have an emergency number to call to get it cemented back in!. I don't know how well the over the counter cements work, but I wouldn't use anything that wasn't intended to be in your mouth!. Fixodent is probably not the best choice, You'll have to be careful until Monday, because you don't want to destroy the tooth's preparation so the permanent crown doesn't fit!. I just "suffered" and was just super careful, didn't even take a big breath of air cuz it was excrutiatingly painful!
so baby it until Monday and good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cement it back in!. Drugstores sell temporary crown cement kits for about $3!. Try not to eat or drink anything for at least an hour after you affix it so the cement can "cure"!.
Don't use the fixodent - it won't hold!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

take aleve or ibuprofen until u can get to the dentist!. u could also buy the orajel stuff that numbs it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

find a new dentistWww@Answer-Health@Com
