I just walked out of the dentist office. I finally decided some dental work was in order a few months ago. Hadn't been to a dentist in about 30 years, since my wisdom teeth were cut out. Now I have two new crowns, some good news and more bad news. Good news was I didn't need the "deep clean" today. Bad news is I need 6 fillings and 5 more crowns.
Never lost one, but I have several crowns. Been a couple years since one came off and I had to have it glued back on. Until the dentist put in post, on some of them, they came off quite a bit. Bread was the culprit most of the time. Dont know why, but biting and chewing light bread cause more to come out than anything else.

Rehab is for quitters! THEY are all guilty! Name one honest politician! DEFINE Treason. God bless the USA Democrats ARE the plague! RINO'S need to be hunted! Who's a bigger puzzy than Paul Ryan? Mike Pence? John Kerry ? REELECT NOBODY! Except Trump
I used to have one on a front incisor that just wouldn't stay on. My teeth are very large and there was too much leverage on it when biting. I finally gave up and got an implant. It was worth the money. It's been on for 15 years now without a problem.

Hear there are some fangs over there - how do those work on bread?
Swallowed one, dentist wanted me to recover it for reinstallation. I declined because I know what it went through. Got a new one. I grind my teeth so it came off twice. Dentist used some new hyper effective glue, it’s stayed on for ten years. The stump did get a bit sensitive.
No but I've helped make a few. Dad owned a crown and bridge lab and as a kid in HS, I'd work there to earn extra cash. Model work and the like. He retired 3 years ago - all gone to CNC machines.
Mrs slumlord can probably put it back on but if I play my cards right, one of her DDS lady friends is an implant specialist. Big gal wanted to yank my crown last year and do me up with a post.
I might have redo some hand rail at her lake house just so I won’t feel like a Wabimooch. I may still feel it. Old girl has a ‘thing’ for me some reason. She likes the way I talk.
She said you got a purdy mouth...................................
Slum, you can put it back on by putting some tooth paste in the crown and popping it back on. Dont eat or chew on it for a few hours and let the tooth paste dry.
I lost a crown once and the dentist office lady told me to try that since the dentist was on vacation. I did it and it held it on until I went to the dentist the following week. He had to pull pretty hard to pull it off.
The only danger is if you swallow it while eating or sleeping??? That will cost you some bucks. Good Luck brother!!
True story: Had a husband and wife teachers at the elementary school where I was principal. He invested in an expensive set of dentures. Had them about 2 weeks when the school’s Thanksgiving Dinner came. He piled his plate high with the turkey and dressing but the dressing had a little too sage in it for his delicate palette and he wound up upchucking his expensive new dentures down the faculty toilet. During the next week of Thanksgiving Holidays, he hired a septic tank guy to retrieve them, put them in a glass of chlorox for a few days, and put em right back in his mouth. My black secretary told me, Us me, “ Us black folks wudna done that! We wudda just run around with them gums.” Even if I did it, don’t think I would have told it.

I had a friend that his crown would fall out every month or two. Always carried a tube of super glue to glue it back in. Asked him once why he didn't just go to the dentist and he said super glue was cheaper.
Have had several come off through the years. Most of them, the tooth stub actually broke. Of course that required a new one at full price. Had a 45 year old front crown break off 4 months ago. Looking at almost 5 grand by the time the implant is done. And swear to God, I was eating scrambled eggs when it happened.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

Sounds like big gal was like'in on you Slum. ETA: Congrats on getting CCCCCCCCCCC to post on your thread, You da man.
My wife lost one last week and swallowed it. I keep telling her that she can recover it and the dentist can glue it back on but she's adamant about getting a new one.
I had the same experience while on an elk hunting trip. We were celebrating a little bit with a happy hour and then had a great seafood supper. I woke up the next morning and could feel something different going on in my mouth. I thought I might have lost a filling or something but didn't think much about it because we were headed out to hunt. Later that night after the hunt I discovered it was a crown that came off and I must have swallowed it. I should have tried to get it back but just figured it would be easy to replace. It was but cost the same as a new one. Had I been looking for it the dentist could have simply glued it back and it would have saved me about $1600.
