Home » Blog » 7 Tips for Dental Crown Maintenance – Take care of your smile this Christmas with a dental crown!

Dental crowns are tooth-coloured caps that cover the entire tooth, they provide full-coverage restoration and cosmetic enhancement. Same day dental crowns in Nambour are often recommended for patients with chipped, cracked, broken or damaged teeth. Dental crowns and bridges are not everlasting, and you will need to eventually replace them. However, with diligent care, you can expect them to last a while, anywhere from 5-15 years.

At Smiles Nambour, you may have walked out of our clinic with a brand new cerec dental crown, but what now? Your smile has been restored at your favourite dentist in Nambour and we want to help you keep it that way. Follow our top 7 tips to take care of your dental crowns!

  1. Good Oral Hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is important, regardless of whether or not you have dental crowns and bridges, but it is crucial to prolong the life of your dental crown. Brush and floss at least twice a day to keep the tooth and gum tissue healthy and avoid decay.

2. Quit those bad habits

Putting added pressure on your teeth and cerec dental crowns increases the risk of damage. Avoid nail biting and opening food packaging with your teeth – use scissors!

3. Regular dentist visits

Continue your regular dentist visits for dental checkups and thorough cleans. Visiting your dentist in Nambour at Smiles Nambour, is essential for monitoring the health of your dental crowns and bridges.

4. Avoid grinding with a night guard

Grinding your teeth can lead to cracks and damage your dental crown. Visit your dentist to get a custom night guard to protect your dental crowns and bridges in Nambour.

5. Wear a custom mouthguard during sport

Protect your dental crown while playing sport by wearing a custom moulded mouthguard.

6. Avoid troublesome foods

Hard foods and ice can cause your cerec crown to crack and chip, while sticky food can get stuck and lead to accelerated tooth decay.

7. Stop damage in its tracks

If you have any questions or concerns about your dental crowns from Smiles Nambour, speak to your dentist ASAP. We can help prevent any further decay and damage.
