A crown is beneficial for various oral health situations including:

  6. To make many different cosmetic improvements 


Tips and Tricks to make your crowns healthier and not get affected sooner by anything that you consume:

1. Brush regularly

Brushing a dental crown is as easy as brushing your natural teeth. 

  • Brush twice a day
  • Brush for a full two minutes
  • Use a toothpaste with the ADA seal of approval

It may be tempting to use a brush with hard bristles, but more abrasion doesn't necessarily make your teeth cleaner. In fact, brushing too vigorously can damage your gums and enamel. Instead, use a brush with soft bristles, which is also good for your crown. 


2. Use a Night Guard

The night guard looks like a retainer and makes sure that your upper and lower teeth do not touch. It can be useful for people who have a habit of grinding their teeth during their sleep. The grinding motion doesn't just wear the crown and the rest of your teeth down, but it can also cause the crown to pop off.


3. Floss daily

Flossing removes the plaque, bacteria, and debris from in between your teeth where brushing alone can’t reach. The ADA recommends flossing once per day, but if you have food stuck between your teeth, you can floss more often.


4. Maintain Good Habits

Most dental crowns can last from five to fifteen years. The lifespan of your Dental Crown depends on your dental hygiene and other oral habits. Permanent crowns, however, require less maintenance than temporary ones. Brush and floss your teeth regularly and do not forget to rinse your mouth, especially the area with the crown with an antibacterial mouthwash.  


5. Take care with hard foods

Hard foods can chip or crack your natural teeth, and they can also chip porcelain crowns. Avoid hard foods like popcorn kernels, hard candies, and ice cubes. Sticky, hard candies can be especially problematic for oral appliances. Also, avoid chewing on non-food items such as pen caps and fingernails. Should you feel the urge to chew, try substituting with a piece of sugar-free gum. Chewing gum has the added benefit of reducing your risk of cavities.


6. Schedule regular checkups
