You don’t need a crown-care routine that takes ten extra minutes every morning. Just brush your teeth twice a day with a bristled toothbrush. Be gentle around the gumline, where plaque tends to build up.<\/p>\r\n
Flossing is important too. It might feel awkward at first around a crown. Carefully slide the floss down between the teeth of snapping it against the gums. If food keeps getting stuck near the crown don’t just accept it as normal. See your dentist.<\/p>\r\n
Metal crowns are strong and handle regular chewing well. That\u2019s why they\u2019re still a choice for back teeth.. Using your teeth as tools can cause problems.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Ice is a habit. Even though crunching it feels harmless it can damage your crown.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Hard objects like pen caps shouldn\u2019t go between your teeth. A crown won\u2019t make them safe to bite.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Sticky foods need caution. If something grabs the crown and pulls it you might end up with a crown instead of a quick snack.<\/p>\r\n
A crown should become boring. That\u2019s actually the goal. After you get used to it you should stop noticing it most of the time.<\/p>\r\n
So if the crown suddenly feels too high when you bite starts moving or becomes painful don\u2019t wait. Call your dentist. A loose crown can expose the tooth underneath to bacteria and irritation.<\/p>\r\n
Some sensitivity is normal after a crown is placed especially if the tooth was recently treated. It usually goes away as the tooth adjusts.. Persistent pain is different.<\/p>\r\n
If hot or cold drinks keep causing sharp pain or chewing suddenly feels uncomfortable get it checked. The same goes for a crown that feels rough against your tongue. Small changes are easier to fix before they turn into problems.<\/p>\r\n
You still need dental visits after getting a metal crown. Your dentist can check the crown itself. Look around the gumline for decay or inflammation. The crown may be metal. The tooth underneath isn\u2019t.<\/p>\r\n
That\u2019s the part people forget. Feeling fine doesn\u2019t always mean everything is fine.<\/p>\r\n
Keep brushing. Floss carefully. Don\u2019t test how punishment your crown can take.. If something feels different get it checked instead of spending three weeks trying to convince yourself it\u2019s nothing.<\/p>\r\n
Metal crowns are durable. With care they can stay useful for a long time. Still the best crown-care habit is probably the exciting one: take care of the tooth around it too.<\/p>\r\n
