Do teeth with porcelain crowns still need deep tooth cleaning?

Yes: A porcelain crown covers the exposed are of the tooth. A deep tooth cleaning goes beyond the crown and below the gum onto root surface.

Yes: A tooth with a crown can become decayed, get gingivitis, periodontitis, or any other dental problem that an uncrowned tooth can develop. You should care for a crowned tooth the same as your other teeth with your homecare as well as regular visits to your dentist and hygienist. With proper care, it can last a long time and do as well as the rest of your teeth.
