Brushing twice a day is your starting point. Use a bristled toothbrush and spend a little extra time around the crowns gumline rather than scrubbing harder. Gentle pressure works here.<\/p>\r\n
Floss every day. Slide the floss carefully between the teeth. Curve it around the side of the crowned tooth. Move it under the gumline without snapping it down. If the space feels awkward a water flosser is an option and honestly feels much quicker once you get used to it.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A soft toothbrush is enough for people. You don’t need to attack the crown like you’re cleaning grout.<\/p>\r\n

Dental check-ups matter because your dentist can see areas that are difficult to judge at home. They can check the gum around the crown. Look at how the crown fits against the natural tooth.<\/p>\r\n
If plaque or tartar has built up professional cleaning gets rid of the stuff your toothbrush won’t shift.. If the crown edge is irritating the gum that’s worth finding out rather than simply putting up with it.<\/p>\r\n
If your gum keeps bleeding around the crown swells repeatedly feels painful. Develops a persistent bad taste, book a dental appointment. The same goes if the crown feels loose or your bite suddenly feels different.<\/p>\r\n
