Why is getting a crown so important?
If you need a crown, it is because you have a tooth that is severely cracked or otherwise damaged. Another possibility is you might need to get a pre-existing crown replaced.
- Crowns are a great tooth strengthener after a root canal.
Patients get root canals because the soft tissue at the root of the tooth becomes inflamed. Dentists understand that the discomfort and irritation can continue to spread through the gum tissue. Crowns are used to help stop the spread of infection and irritation.
How long do they last?
Crowns and bridges up to 15 years or more if well maintained.
How do I take care of my new crown?
Crowns often do not need much more than daily brushing and flossing for their maintenance. They are made to behave like natural teeth, so it is expected that the treatment is the same.
What should I do if I have a problem with my crown or bridge?
If you are experiencing complications with your newly placed crown or bridge, do not hesitate to see your dentist. They will be able to assist you in deciding what to do next.
