How Do I Care for a Dental Crown?

A crown should be cared for just like a natural tooth.

Brush twice a day, floss every day, and continue seeing your dentist for regular cleanings and exams. While the crown itself can’t decay, the tooth underneath still can.

If you clench or grind your teeth, wearing a nightguard may help protect both your crown and your natural teeth from excessive wear.

Taking good care of your crown is one of the best ways to help it last for many years.
