No matter how well your filling or crown was done, the materials that were used to fix the tooth can end up causing pain later on down the road. If you ve had a tooth come out of place, you can normally reposition it with your fingers. You shouldn t use a lot of force, simply because it could damage the tooth. You shouldn t force the tooth into place, rather try and jiggle it around. You can also use moist tissue to hold the tooth in place, until you can get to a dentist.
