How to Care for Dental Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns and fixed bridges are high-strength restorations designed to protect compromised teeth and replace missing teeth. Proper oral hygiene ensures your crown or bridge stays functional and aesthetic for many years.
Medical Disclaimer: If a crown comes loose or feels detached, avoid gluing it yourself. Store the cap safely and contact a dentist.
Best Practices for Crown & Bridge Hygiene
Keep your dental restorations in peak condition with these habits:
- Floss Daily Around Crown Margins: Floss carefully down to the gumline around crowned teeth to prevent plaque buildup at the restoration edge.
- Use Floss Threaders for Bridges: Clean underneath bridge pontics using specialized floss threaders or interdental brushes.
- Avoid Chewing Extremely Hard Foods: Avoid biting ice, hard candies, or uncracked nuts that could chip porcelain surfaces.
- Wear a Nightguard if You Grind Teeth: If you suffer from nocturnal teeth grinding (bruxism), a protective guard prevents ceramic fractures.
What to Do If a Crown Becomes Loose
If a crown dislodges or feels loose, store it safely in a clean container and do not force it back into place without dental cement.
