Generally, it's best to wait for the dental anesthetic to wear off, and then your new tooth should be ready for you to eat and enjoy food.
It's normal to have some tenderness the first day or two after getting a new crown placed; however, if symptoms persist, contact your Pure Dental team as your crown may need slight adjustments.
Caring for your Permanent Ceramic Porcelain Crown
There are some steps you can take at home to protect the health and longevity of your new dental crown.
- Consistent daily brushing
- Never use teeth as tools
- Avoid hard or sticky foods
- Careful flossing once a day to avoid decay under the crown
Consistent visits to your Toowoomba dentist every six months for professional teeth cleans and exams will also help prolong the lifespan of your crown. Your dentist will check the health of your crown with yearly x-rays and biannual exams. They can let you know if there are any signs of problematic wear or breakdown that you should address.
