Why wear a temporary crown between
dental visits? It is vital and necessary for the fit of the final
crown. It keeps the prepared tooth from drifting to meet the opposing
tooth, or leaning to one side or the other. It also protects the
prepared tooth from bacteria and food and fluids. Yes, the temporary
may feel a little rough, but the final product will be smooth and
life-like. If your temporary comes off, save it and call us to bring it
in to be re-cemented. It is a quick visit, without anesthesia. If it is
broken or lost, we will make a new one, which takes a little longer,
but is easily done and very important. Clean around your temporary
crown gently, and if you floss it, pull the floss out to the side. Soon
you will have a lovely finished product, that will feel like one of your
own teeth and give you long service. As always, we appreciate you
wonderful patients.
