If you want to avoid the need for a root canal after receiving a crown, it’s important to take proper care of your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing are key components of keeping your teeth free from decay.
Additionally, be sure to schedule regular cleanings with your dentist so that any underlying issues can be identified before they turn into something more serious.
Your diet also affects the health of your crown. Avoid eating sugary or sticky foods as much as possible after receiving your crown. These types of food can easily get stuck in the crown and cause decay that will require a root canal down the road.
