Crowns and Bridges

After getting a dental crown, it’s best to avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods, especially in the first few days while your crown fully settles. Foods like ice, hard candies, caramel, and chewing gum can potentially damage or loosen the crown. Once adjusted, you can return to a normal diet, but maintaining good oral habits and being mindful of overly hard foods will help extend the life of your dental crown.
