Dental
crown installation is one of the treatment solutions your preferred cosmetic
dentist can offer you. It mostly involves reshaping the existing tooth’s enamel
to make way for a synthetic tooth-shaped object to be installed on top. Afterwards,
you’ll need to observe proper maintenance starting with these tips:
No Gooey or Sticky Foods
One
of the most critical things to do during the post-crown recovery process is to
avoid eating certain types of very chewy food. For a temporary crown, you
cannot eat chewing gum or caramel-based items like some popular brands of soft
chocolate bars. Any other foods that are hard to eat are also out of the
question, as the hard pressure exerted on the food item’s surface may
potentially crack the crown’s surface.
Cleanup
You
can proceed with regular cleaning when a permanent crown is installed. A
regular brush and floss will help keep plaque from eroding the crown’s
adhesive, which you should follow up by gargling with antibacterial mouthwash. Be
sure, however, that you’re not grinding away at the adhesive while you’re
flossing.
How long a dental crown lasts is all up to you,
as the patient. Observe the above tips and make them last for a long time.
