After receiving your new crown, make sure you take care of it by following these simple directions:
- Avoid eating anything for an hour or more to allow the bonding agent to set
- If your teeth are sensitive, try using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth
- If an anesthetic was used to perform your procedure, try not to chew any food or gum until the numbness has ended
- Your brushing and flossing routine should be as usual
- Take your medications or antibiotics (if prescribed) as stated
- Rinse your mouth with salt water 3 times a day to reduce swelling
You will most likely have discomfort for a few days after your procedure, however if your crown feels crooked, comes off or your sensitivity/pain increases, please call our office with your concerns.
