The dentist has to put the permanent crown on. It will probably need adjustments before it is permanently cemented.

Mention it! I came back from the dentist as well. I cannot do another bridge or crown. I have to have implants. There goes my summer vacation and square dance festivals for the next year. Yikes, pricey. It better work. The bridge, crowns, etc did not. Consider yourself lucky your problem was a cotton roll.

My dentist does temporary crowns. His assistant preps things, hands him his tools and and suc^&ks the water from my mouth. The hygienist cleans my teeth and takes x-rays.

Did they sedate you? I had a debridement of an old filling done on a back upper molar by my dentist and a crown put in a couple of months ago along with an endodontist doing my root canal and a visit for a temporary in between. I was numbed up 3x over several weeks of visits and never had one cotton wad put in! Even if they had put it in you can feel those! My dentists have never used those cotton wads since the 80s.

Not put out.... I just had novacaine. Since it was an old bottom left molar with a 30 year old huge mercury filling in it, and he had to drill away some cavity at the gumline, I think the cotton helped to keep my tongue to the side away from where he had to drill. Being numb, I did not notice it there when I left. I do remember him putting it in.

So glad you found it, gazelle! I've heard of these things happening, but thankfully they've never happened to me. I would tell your dentist.
