Care of Mouth After Bridge/Crown Placement
CHEWING Avoid chewing hard foods, such as hard candy, ice, and raw carrots. The extreme forces can damage the resin material. Also, avoid tobacco, red wine, coffee, blueberries, teas and other staining substances.
SENSITIVITY There may be some mild sensitivity to hot or cold food and beverages in the first few weeks. Please contact us if it still persists longer than 6 weeks.
PREVENTATIVE CARE To care your new restoration, please practice these daily:
- Brush with a fluoridated toothpaste after each meal, and floss at least once a day.
- Swish vigorously for 30 seconds daily, using a rinse that contains fluoride.
RECALL VISITS Regular, six-month examinations are neccessary. Problems that may develop can be found and repaired at an early atage, while waiting for a long period of time may require more in-depth restorations.
THE FUTURE You will receive several years of the satisfaction from your restorations. However, there may be some conditions that can occur. If any of them do occur, please contact us immediately to avoid further complications:
- Movement or looseness in the restoration.
- Sensitivity to sweet foods.
- A peculiar taste from the restoration site.
- Breakage of a piece of material from the restoration.
- Sensitivity to pressure.
