Porcelain crowns, gold crowns, and even silver tooth caps are the most popular form of dental crown, but you can treat them like a natural tooth. While it does not require any particular care, remember that it acts as a sleeve over the top of your natural tooth, so decay and gum disease can still occur if you don’t stick to a good oral health routine. Keep up regular dental health check-ups and remember to continue to floss around the tooth. When flossing, try to pull the floss through your teeth rather than upwards – sometimes pulling up and out can catch on your dental crown and contribute to it wearing more quickly.
