Having said that, dental crowns are a wonderful\ninvestment in your oral health because they can last 15-20 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, since they\u2019re subject to the same everyday\nwear-and-tear as your own teeth, it\u2019s helpful to know a few tips and tricks for\ncaring for them. After all, everyone can agree they\u2019d rather not replace their\ndental work unless they absolutely have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways To Help Dental Crowns Last <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your oral hygiene routine and everyday habits will have a big impact on the longevity of all of your dental work, including your dental<br>crowns. Here are some tips to extend their life and keep them looking fantastic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get<br>regular dental care<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0 Regular<br>checkups with a dentist in Carrollton are important to make sure your dental<br>crowns are still functioning well and catch any small problems early. For<br>example, small cavities can be found near the margin of a dental crown in time<br>to be treated with a small filing, instead of needing a whole new crown after<br>they\u2019ve gotten larger. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep up<br>good oral hygiene <\/strong>\u2013 A crown itself can\u2019t get a cavity, but the strip of<br>exposed tooth structure near the gumline still can. Good brushing and flossing<br>will keep this area clean and prevent a cavity from forming underneath your crown.<br>It\u2019s also helpful to use a fluoride mouthwash for extra cavity protection. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wear a<br>nightguard for clenching and grinding <\/strong>\u2013 Nighttime clenching and grinding<br>puts a huge amount of force on both your natural teeth and dental crowns. Wearing<br>a nightguard won\u2019t prevent it from happening, but it will protect from chips<br>and fractures. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watch<br>your diet<\/strong> <strong>and habits<\/strong> &#8211; Avoid<br>chewing or biting on anything hard, such as ice, pens, or hard candy that can<br>chip or crack your crowns. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following these guidelines, you can look forward to many\nyears of good oral health from your dental crowns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familydentistcarrollton.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Moji\nChandy<\/a> has over 12 years of experience as a general, cosmetic, and\nrestorative dentist in Carrollton and is a graduate of the NYU College of\nDentistry.
