Care for Ceramic Crowns

• Oral Hygiene: Just like natural teeth, ceramic crowns require regular brushing and flossing to maintain good oral hygiene. It is important to brush at least twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent tooth decay.
• Avoid Grinding or Clenching: Excessive grinding or clenching of teeth can put stress on ceramic crowns and potentially cause damage. If you tend to grind or clench your teeth, your dentist may recommend using a nightguard to protect your crowns while you sleep.
• Regular Dental Check-ups: It is essential to visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. This allows your dentist to monitor the condition of your ceramic crowns and make any necessary adjustments or repairs.
• Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: To prolong the lifespan of your ceramic crowns, it is advisable to avoid biting into hard foods or chewing sticky substances, such as ice or caramel. These can potentially cause the ceramic to chip or crack.
