A member asked:
I had a temporary tooth crown put in, suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Temporary Crown: Be careful not to eat anything hard or sticky on it to prevent breakage and dislodging it. Do brush and floss (unless your dentist advised otherwise), but pull the floss out sideways rather than down or up. Get the permanent crown as soon as possible. Follow your own dentist's directions.
