lost crown

Monarchy no more

A lost crown is a dental crown—the cap covering a damaged tooth—that has come off or fallen out.

The phrase appears in dental contexts describing a common minor emergency: I bit into something hard and lost my crown.

Until replaced, the exposed tooth may be sensitive or vulnerable to further damage.
