Crown Care
Crown care involves maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly to prevent plaque buildup around the crown.
Avoid chewing hard foods or using teeth to open packages to prevent damage to the crown.
Attend regular dental check-ups for professional cleaning and to ensure the crown remains securely in place.
What is it?
Crowns care refers to the maintenance and management of dental crowns, which are prosthetic caps placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Dental crowns are typically made from materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of these materials. Proper care and maintenance of crowns are essential to ensure their longevity and to protect the underlying tooth structure.
Whats included
- Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor crown health and tooth structure.
- Maintain good oral hygiene, avoid hard foods, and promptly address any issues or discomfort to prolong crown longevity and effectiveness.
What happens?
During routine dental check-ups, your dentist will inspect the crowns for signs of wear, chipping, or discoloration. They may use dental instruments and magnification tools to closely examine the margins of the crowns where they meet the natural tooth structure. X-rays may be taken periodically to assess the health of the underlying tooth and bone.
If issues are identified, your dentist may recommend treatments such as repairing or replacing the crown, adjusting the fit, or addressing any underlying dental problems. Professional cleaning and polishing of the crowns may also be performed to remove plaque and stains and to ensure a smooth surface.

Quick tip
- If your dentist gives you advice about daily dental care like teeth brushing techniques and how often you should floss, write it down. It takes time to build a new habit – some say 21 days or more. In the meantime, here’s a handy idea. Stick your note about your new dental care routine on your bathroom mirror as a daily reminder.
