Crowns

Dental crowns are basically customized caps that are put over the teeth of the patient. The procedure helps in restoring the shape and size of teeth, increase its strength and make its performance better. The crown will basically fit on the teeth and give it all-round protection.

Like many other dental care procedures, after you have put on the crowns, remember to avoid hard and chewy food. Also, avoid sugars and sweets for a few days. When you maintain the crown properly, it lasts really long. If you have a clenching or grinding teeth, then dentists might suggest you wear a mouthguard for added protection. This is because grinding can wear your crown down. Also, do not compromise on your regular oral hygiene habits. Consistent brushing and flossing can prevent multiple oral problems including gum diseases.

These practices will ensure the longevity of your dental crown. This means that you will have added strength and longevity for a longer period of time. Crown should fit your teeth properly or else bacteria can build up, which will lead to tooth decay. The main aim of putting a crown on is saving your teeth and thus you must ensure that they fit you well. Maintaining your teeth properly and ensuring the proper fit of your crown, would mean that the cap will last for at least 10 to 15 years.
