Hard foods are the thing to be careful with. Biting into something firm can push a strong force on the crown especially if you’re still getting used to the new tooth.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Ice is not a choice around crowns. Chewing it creates pressure and isn\u2019t worth the risk.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Hard sweets can cause problems because they need a lot of force to break especially when you bite them with the crowned tooth.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Nuts are usually okay if they\u2019re soft enough to chew without effort.. Very hard nuts should be avoided or eaten with care.<\/p>\r\n
Don\u2019t treat your crowned tooth like a tool. It\u2019s tempting to use it as a bottle opener or to crack things but that happens more often than you think. Your teeth get pulled into jobs all the time.<\/p>\r\n
Chewy sweets are probably the easiest to avoid. Caramel is especially sticky. It clings to the crown pulls at it and leaves sugar near the edges of the tooth where decay can start.<\/p>\r\n
Sticky dried fruit can act the same way. If you do eat it keep the portion small and clean around the crown after.<\/p>\r\n
You don\u2019t need to follow a diet just because you have a crown. Choose foods that don\u2019t require a lot of chewing effort from the tooth.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Soft bread is usually comfortable during the first few days after getting the crown.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Cooked vegetables are easier to handle than ones that need a strong crunch.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Yogurt is an option when chewing feels awkward. It\u2019s also easy to eat on a day when your mouth feels sensitive.<\/p>\r\n
You don\u2019t have to stop eating sugar just because you have a crown. The real concern is letting sugary foods stay in your mouth for long. Even though the crown itself doesn\u2019t decay, the natural tooth next to it can still develop cavities.<\/p>\r\n
So if you’re choosing between snacking on sweets all afternoon or having them with a meal going with the meal is better.. Remember to brush and clean between your teeth just as you always did.<\/p>\r\n
