HOW DO I CARE FOR MY CROWN?
Simple daily habits to keep your crown, natural teeth and gums clean, healthy and protected.
Your crown should be cared for much like your natural teeth. Good oral hygiene helps protect not only the restoration, but also the tooth and gums around it.
01 — BRUSH
Brush twice a day using a soft or medium-soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Pay particular attention to the area where the crown meets the gum.
02 — CLEAN BETWEEN YOUR TEETH
Floss or use an appropriate interdental cleaner every day.
When cleaning around a crown, be gentle and avoid aggressive movements.
03 — LOOK AFTER YOUR GUMS
Healthy gums are important for the long-term health of the tooth supporting your crown.
If you notice persistent redness, swelling or bleeding, speak with your dentist.
04 — KEEP YOUR CHECK-UPS
Regular dental examinations allow your dentist to monitor:
Your crown
Your bite
Your gums
The supporting tooth
The surrounding teeth
REMEMBER
Your crown may be artificial.
The tooth supporting it isn't.
Good daily hygiene protects both.
