How do I look after a temporary crown?
How to care for a temporary crown between dental appointments
- Avoid sticky foods (chewing gum, caramels, chewy lollies) on the treated side - they can pull the crown off
- Avoid hard foods on that side
- Chew on the opposite side where possible
- Brush and floss gently around the temporary crown
If the temporary crown falls off
- Keep the crown safe
- Contact Dental 99 via the app or live chat to arrange a review appointment
- Avoid chewing on that side until it can be re-cemented
