A member asked:
Have had 2 temporary crowns, and dentist advised me i can chew on the tooth. that it may cause sensitivity but no damage. is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
True: However, avoid sticky or chewy foods like a chewing gum and caramels, which have the potential of grabbing and pulling at the crown.
