Is it ok to use my phillips sonicare electric toothbrush on a temp crown?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can use any kind of toothbrush that you normally use on your teeth on a temporary crown. Be sure to also floss. If your gums are not healthy when the dentist goes to seat your final crown, it can cause it to fail prematurely.
