After a crown has been fitted, wait 24 hours before brushing around the area. Use a soft toothbrush and be careful around the edges of the crown. Avoid sticky or hard foods that could damage or loosen the crown. Temporary sensitivity to hot and cold is normal and usually disappears within a week. Floss carefully without pulling on the crown. Use a prescribed fluoride mouthwash if advised. Painkillers can relieve discomfort if needed. Check that your bite feels right and report any problems straight away. Avoid grinding your teeth and excessive chewing on the treated side. Regular check-ups ensure the long-term success of your crown.
