Taking Good Care of Your Dental Crowns

Taking Good Care of Your Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a cover or cap that the dentist places over a damaged or cracked tooth. It protects weak or broken teeth, helping to improve your smile. Dental crowns are usually made from metal, ceramic or porcelain. If you have dental crowns, it's important to take care of them just like you care for your natural teeth. Do you live in Findlay? Dr. Krystal DeClerck at DeClerck Family Dental can help you if you need dental crowns to treat a dental issue. Keep reading to learn how to take care of dental crowns.

Brush Your Teeth at Least Twice a Day

If you want to take care of your teeth, including your dental crowns, brush them at least two times a day. Regular teeth brushing removes plaque and bacteria that can lead to tooth decay. Choose a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle brush to brush your teeth. The Findlay area has dentists who can provide more advice concerning your oral health and the best ways to brush those pearly whites.

Don't Forget to Floss

Brushing your teeth is important, but using dental floss is important too. Dental floss gets to the parts of your teeth that your toothbrush can't reach. Remember to floss around the crown area, particularly where the gum line meets the tooth.

Regular Dental Checkups

Schedule regular dental checkups with your Findlay dentist at least two times a year to keep your teeth and dental crowns in excellent health. Regular dentist visits will help catch potential dental issues before they grow more serious. You will also need professional teeth cleaning to keep your teeth and dental crowns healthy and strong.
