Chances are, the crown can be re-cemented at Sundance Dental & Orthodontics in Rio Rancho and Farmington, NM, where our services include emergency dentistry.

Inspect the crown and your tooth if there is damage to either, Drs. Rothenberg and Moskowitz will need that information. This brings me to number 3:Clean Gently.
