These versatile, tooth-shaped\ncaps can correct a number of cosmetic flaws while strengthening and protecting\nthe tooth underneath. With the proper care, your dental crown can keep your smile\nbeautiful and functional for many years to come. Here are five tips from your\nWeatherford dentist to extend the lifespan of your newly fortified tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1: Avoid Sticky &amp; Hard Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental crowns are incredibly strong, but they\u2019re not\nindestructible. Chewing on hard foods can chip or crack your crown, while\nsticky items may loosen it. For the health of your dental crown as well as the\nrest of your smile, try eating more cheese, lean meats, fruits, and vegetables\ninstead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2: Practice Good Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While your dental crown is immune to cavities, the tooth\nunderneath it is not. If bacteria, plaque, or food particles become stuck between\nthe crown and your gums or the neighboring teeth, they may find their way to\nthe vulnerable tooth. To prevent decay and infection, be sure to brush and\nfloss regularly.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3: Stop Bad Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you chew on ice, open bottles with your teeth, or bite\nyour fingernails? These bad chewing habits can quickly damage your natural\nteeth as well as your dental crown. To protect your smile and your new\ninvestment, only use your teeth to chew on food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4: Use a Night Guard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wake up with headaches, sensitive teeth, or a sore\njaw, you may have a condition known as bruxism. This is where you clench your jaw\nor grind your teeth in your sleep. Over time, your weakened teeth and dental\ncrown may break. Your dentist can spot the evidence of this dangerous habit and\ncreate a custom night guard to protect your smile as you sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #5: Get Regular Dental Checkups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not always easy to closely inspect your dental crown or\nthe area around it, so you may miss warning signs of issues like damage, decay,\nor infection. If you see your dentist every six months, they can help you spot\nand stop any problems as early as possible. More importantly, regular dental\ncheckups and cleanings are the best way to prevent these troubles from\ndeveloping in the first place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your new dental crown doesn\u2019t require any specialized\ncleaning or care, but treating it properly can significantly extend its\nlifespan. Use these simple tips to enjoy your beautiful, functional, and\ncomplete smile for years to come! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Thomas Novak and Dr. Garrett Johannsen of Weatherford, TX are dedicated to helping you achieve a smile that looks and feels its best for a lifetime.
