Take care of your newly crowned tooth just like your other teeth by brushing and flossing regularly! Crowns are tightly fitted to your mouth and securely bonded to your teeth, so they won’t come out if you brush.

Some crowns may extend under the gum line but most fit around the gum line. If part of your tooth is exposed beneath the crown, it’s important to keep it clean by brushing thoroughly and flossing between the tooth that holds the crown and the adjacent teeth. As mentioned in Tip #5, a crowned tooth will not decay or develop gum disease. However, the crowned tooth is still vulnerable to these dental conditions, so practicing good oral hygiene is essential. But what if you’re experiencing irritation?

Temporary crowns keep your tooth comfortable and enable you to chew, talk, smile and function normally while the new crown is being custom designed at the lab. To make a good-fitting, aesthetic crown, some or all of the enamel (outer surface of the tooth) is removed. Without the protection of a temporary crown, you may feel temperature changes in the dentin under the enamel.

In addition, teeth may sometimes move, ever so slightly, over time. A temporary crown will keep your teeth in place, minimizing the time needed to fit the new crown properly. You may ask yourself will the temporary crown need special care?
