Is there anything speical i need to do with cleaning after i get a crown? i'm scheduled for my first appointment for my first crown soon, and am wondering if there is anything i'll need to do differently with flossing or brushing after i have the crown.

A : A well fiting and properly contoured crown will mimic the form and function of a natural tooth. Brush, floss, and clean around it as you would your natural teeth. Visit your dentist regularly do monitor the health of your entire dentition.

You : You still need to brush, floss good as your natural teeth, and pay more attention at the margin of the crown, this is the area with more sensitive to cavity.

If : If it is a well fitted and properly contoured filling, simple treat crowns as normal healthy teeth. If you find them not feeling normal or natural in any way, bring it to the attention of your dentist to evaluate for any possible problem or special attention.

Idaho : Idaho falls, a quality crown should look and feel like a natural tooth and be kept clean like one. While a quality dentist can come close, anything man made can't be better than the original. So if you don't address the reasons your natural tooth failed it is likely to reoccur. Cavities can happen around the root were the crown meets the tooth, so brush, floss, and manage sugar exposure. Grinding/clenching will wear or fracture a crown with time. So observe for what is generally an uncounscious activity and mitigate if found. Hope this is helpful, michael i.

Brush and floss: Treat your new crown like a natural tooth. You need to brush and floss as you would your natural teeth. The better you take care of a crown, the longer it will last.
