Caring For Your Dental Crowns

While dental crowns on average last approximately ten years, getting the most out of your investment is dependent on how you care for your dental crowns and minimizing the additional stresses upon them.

Here are some tips on caring for, and maximizing the lifespan of your dental crowns:

  • Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily
  • At Smiles By Sands, we use porcelain dental crowns, as they’re the most aesthetically pleasing. However, they’re also more prone to decay and damage, so use a non-abrasive, soft-bristled toothbrush
  • Don’t bite your nails, chew your ice, nibble on your pen etc.
  • Don’t clench or grind your teeth. If this is a sub-conscious habit during sleeping hours, we can provide you with a protective mouth guard
  • Change your diet to consist of softer foods

If you follow the above advice, your dental crown can last you ten years or longer.
