Yes, you can eat and drink with a dental crown. It’s important to allow time for the dental cement to fully set and for the anesthetic to wear off before eating, which is typically a few hours after the procedure. After that, you can eat and drink normally, but you may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures for a few days. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that could damage the crown or loosen it from the tooth. Regular oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, and dental check-ups can help maintain the health and longevity of the crown.
