Unfortunately, a false tooth can break just like a real one, and when it does it can be very painful; you\u2019ll need to act quickly to appropriately address the issue. Here\u2019s what you need to know about broken dental crowns in Colleyville.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Do Dental Crowns Break?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why a crown might break or become worn down, and while you can generally extend their lifespan with good oral health habits, sooner or later you\u2019ll have a problem. Common causes of dental crown complications include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Age: <\/strong>On rare occasions, crowns can last a lifetime. Usually, though, they last about 5 to 15 years before becoming weaker due to natural wear and tear. The material used to make the crown is also a factor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Grinding and Clenching:<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s a conscious habit or something that happens involuntarily during sleep, excessive grinding and clenching of the teeth can wear down crowns faster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hard or Sticky Foods:<\/strong> Popcorn kernels and nuts can damage the crown, and sticky foods such as gum and taffy can pull it out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Installation:<\/strong> Sometimes there might be an issue during placement that can affect the crown\u2019s stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Should I Do if My Crown\u2019s Broken?<\/h2>\n<p>A dental crown break can happen at any time, so keep the number for your emergency dentist in Colleyville close at hand at all times; you\u2019ll need to make an appointment as soon as possible so that you can receive a new restoration. Be sure to tell the practice whether you\u2019re in pain so that they know to prioritize you as an emergency case.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here are some steps you can take to make sure you\u2019re as comfortable as possible while waiting for your appointment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the crown is still attached, remove it so that you don\u2019t accidentally swallow it. You\u2019ll also want to check for broken pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Gently rub your tongue on the affected tooth to check for jagged edges; if you find an area that could cut or irritate the soft tissues in your mouth, you can place dental wax over them.<\/li>\n<li>Use ibuprofen or another over the counter pain medication to control any discomfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The above steps are only measures for temporary relief until you can get to the dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>Speak with your dentist about taking care of your dental crown and what steps you can take to avoid a serious emergency; you might also ask about recommendations for an emergency dental kit. Taking care of a dental crown is much like taking care of your natural teeth: you always want to be prepared for the worst-case scenario ahead of time.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Branberg enjoys using his talents in math, science and art to help people through dentistry.
