 Dental crowns have many different uses. People receiving a dental crown typically have one installed after a root canal, but in some cases, they are also installed for people who have suffered from severe tooth decay. Crowns can be made from a variety of different materials, but the materials used should last a long time if taken care of properly.If you have a crown, you may be wondering if there is any special care you need to take to make sure it lasts a long time. They can be quite expensive after all! Not to mention that is takes quite a while to have one installed. Below, we've compiled a few steps you can take to make sure your crown last as long as possible. Crown Care TipsThe material crowns are made of can sometimes be more fragile than your natural teeth. For this reason, it is important to only eat hard foods in moderation and to be careful when doing so. Some foods to avoid when trying to protect your crown are potato chips, hard candy, and ice. Ice can be particularly harmful to crowns because it is very hard.Dental crowns should be taken care of like any of your other teeth. Make sure to brush and floss at least twice a day.
