The cap still fits perfectly. I flossed with something to large. How can I put it back in myself?

i had the same problem.i put a little dab of fixodent inside the cap of the tooth and put the tooth back on.it held for 3 weeks before it came loose again.fixodent is used for dentures but it worked fine for this problem until i was able to go to the dentist.if you try this,only put a small amount because if you put too much fixodent inside the cap,it wont fit properly when you put it back on.and once you put the cap back on,it sticks instantly so just use a little bit and it should be good.

Wal-mart has some dental adhesives get a friend to help you reset it. Brush first, after brushing use a strong mouth wash like listerine for a minet before using the adhesive. When setting the crown it should already have a pattern to set into. So dry fit it first then use the adhesive. This should fix you up but i accept no responsibility what so ever, as i am just well learned.

NELLY,
THIS IS NOT UNHEARD OF. YOUR OLD CROWN NEEDS TO BE RECEMENTED. GO TO A DENTIST WHO HAS THE SPECIAL CEMENT FOR THIS PURPOSE. YOU MAY USE TEMPORARY DENTAL CEMENT AVAILABLE AT MOST DRUG STORES, BUT YOU MUST SEE A DENTIST.

Check with the dentist sometimes they can do it without charging

You can't. It isn't safe. You could wind up swallowing it by mistake. Don't take that chance.
