As a rule of thumb, you should always wait two hours after surgery before eating to let the anesthesia wear off.



Crowns and Bridges

Before you receive your permanent crown/bridge you will first receive a temporary restoration. This is not as sturdy as the permanent version, so you should be careful when cleaning and eating. You should brush the area gently and should not pull up on the tooth when flossing because it could become dislodged. The same goes for eating. You should avoid sticky or chewy foods while you have the temporary in.

There may be some sensitivity and irritation after the temporary or permanent is placed. This is normal and will subside after the soft tissue heals. A warm salt water rinse will help, and you can also take Advil or Tylenol if the pain does not go away.

When the permanent crown or bridge is placed it may feel a little awkward for a few days. Your mouth needs to adjust to the new tooth, and it should feel like one of your natural tooth in less than a week. If your bite feels abnormal in any way, you should let your dentist know. Caring for your bridge or crown is just like caring for your own teeth. You should brush and floss regularly.

  1. Good and precise information about dental crowns. I wanted to get the procedure done but was unaware about how exactly it is done and if i should really go for it. Now that i am clear about it, i can look forward for my treatment. I also got good information when i searched for dentzz review as i am willing to travel anywhere in India to get the best treatment done. At last it is a big decision and that the effect shall last long.
