Brush your teeth twice a day with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Just because the crown feels strong doesn\u2019t mean you should brush harder. Use pressure around the edge of the crown. It cleans better. Is much easier on your gums.<\/p>\r\n
Floss around the crown every day. Be careful how you do it\u2014slide the floss down gently. Don\u2019t snap it into your gums. The main area to focus on is where the crown meets your tooth. That thin gap is easy to miss. It\u2019s where plaque builds up fast.<\/p>\r\n
After your dentist places a permanent crown you can usually start eating normally once the numbness goes away.. Don\u2019t chew something hard right away. Your mouth is still adjusting. There’s no benefit to testing the crown by biting into food. Give it time.<\/p>\r\n
Some sensitivity to hot or cold is common at first. That usually fades.. If the pain doesn\u2019t go away or your bite feels too high don\u2019t ignore it. Call your dentist. Don\u2019t just hope it gets better on its own.<\/p>\r\n
Molar crowns are made to handle chewing.. That doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re meant to open packages or crack nuts. Don\u2019t use your teeth like tools. That\u2019s a habit.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Chewing ice is never an idea. Even if you\u2019ve always done it your teeth aren\u2019t made for that. Ice is hard. Can chip a crown.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Sticky foods need caution in the early days. They can pull at the crown. Stick around the edge.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Crunchy snacks are okay in amounts.. Avoid biting down on hard things like chips or hard candy with the crowned tooth.<\/p>\r\n
The crown itself won\u2019t decay like tooth enamel.. The tooth underneath still can. Plaque gathers where the crown meets the tooth. That\u2019s a breeding ground for bacteria. So brush along the gumline with care. Pay attention to that area.<\/p>\r\n
If your gums bleed every time you brush near the crown don\u2019t ignore it. A little irritation can happen.. If bleeding keeps happening or if you have swelling, a bad taste or tenderness it\u2019s time to see your dentist.<\/p>\r\n
Even after your crown is in place regular dental visits still matter. Your dentist needs to check how the crown fits. They also need to look for any changes around the tooth that you can\u2019t see yourself.<\/p>\r\n
If the crown feels loose cracked or suddenly sensitive don\u2019t wait. Get it checked away. Waiting never helps. It only makes things worse.<\/p>\r\n
