WAYS TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEW CROWNS
- Avoid sticky and hard foods: Crowns are durable and strong, but they can still be damaged just like your natural teeth. Chewing on hard or sticky foodstuff can lead to weakening or loosening the crown.
- Brush and floss to keep the tooth healthy: It is important to brush and floss your teeth properly to prevent germs and food particles being trapped between the crown and gum or the adjacent tooth.
- Kick your bad habits: Do not bite your nails or pencils or any hard objects. It can break your crowns or chip your natural teeth as well.
- See the dentist regularly: Having routine checkups and cleanings every six months is important for making sure the gums surrounding the crown stay healthy and for keeping the supporting tooth healthy too.
