If you have a severely damaged or decayed tooth, are getting a dental implant, or will soon undergo a root canal procedure, then there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ll be fitted with a dental crown<\/a>. Your dentist can use these prosthetics to protect and preserve injured teeth or cap an implant. They\u2019re made from beautiful, durable materials to restore your smile\u2019s appearance and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it\u2019s in place, it\u2019s important to follow your dentist\u2019s aftercare instructions in detail to keep your mouth happy and healthy. Continue reading to learn about 3 tips for a smooth recovery once you\u2019ve received your dental crown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: \u00a0Avoid Hot Temperatures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental team will numb the affected tooth before making any necessary repairs and placing your dental crown. This ensures that you don\u2019t experience any discomfort while they bond it over your tooth or dental implant. However, it\u2019s not uncommon for patients to bite or burn the tender tissues inside their mouth following their appointment because of a lack of sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your inner lips, cheeks, and tongue are feeling numb then you might not realize that the food or drink you\u2019re about to consume is too hot. Instead, steer clear of anything too warm so you don\u2019t accidentally injure yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Manage Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal to experience mild to moderate aches for a few days as your mouth adjusts to having a prosthetic in place. Thankfully, the pain tends to dissipate quickly and is gone after about a week. That doesn\u2019t mean that you must live with it in the meantime. It\u2019s usually safe to take over-the-counter options like Tylenol or ibuprofen if you\u2019re hurting. You can also apply a cold compress or ice pack to your face to temporarily numb the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a toothache that doesn\u2019t subside or gets worse, contact your dentist so they can ensure that your dental crown fits properly so you can recover as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Watch What You Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These artificial teeth are incredibly resilient, but they\u2019re not entirely impervious to harm. Certain foods are notorious for chipping them or yanking them off your teeth. In the first 24 hours, it\u2019s best to avoid overly sticky options because they might dislodge your new restoration. You may also want to steer clear of anything too hard or chewy that could break or fracture it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taking these few simple precautions, you\u2019ll enjoy a much smoother transition to living with your new dental crown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
