A dentist will often use a temporary crown when waiting for a permanent version that can be affixed to your tooth. However, it is important to know how to care for this crown in order to avoid any unintentional damage during the interim.

Here are three takeaway points to remember:

• Try not to chew food with the crown.
• Avoid sticky and hard foods.
• If you suspect that the temporary crown has become loose, consult with your dentist.

"When flossing, avoid pulling the floss down when removing it from between your teeth."
