There\u2019s no telling when these dental dilemmas will occur, which is why it\u2019s important to be prepared and know how to react quickly. These caps that help protect and restore the function of your natural teeth do a lot more than just look pretty, which is why it\u2019s so important to get them replaced if they break. A damaged restoration could put your oral health in danger. Read on to learn what could cause your crown to break.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Eating Hard And Sticky Foods<\/h2>\n<p>One common reason that causes dental crowns to break is hard and sticky foods. While these restorations are durable, foods like taffy and nuts can do a number on them. It\u2019s best to steer clear of these kinds of snacks altogether to avoid a visit to your emergency dentist in Northwest Dallas. If you just can\u2019t resist, try chewing them on the opposite side of your mouth as your crown.<\/p>\n<p>Once your crown has endured some wear-and-tear, it may even become damaged eating softer foods like pasta. No matter what you ate, it\u2019s important to immediately schedule an appointment with your dentist to get it replaced. When it\u2019s left unreplaced, you\u2019re leaving it exposed\u00a0to harmful oral bacteria.<\/p>\n<h2>Clenching And Grinding Your Teeth<\/h2>\n<p>If you have bruxism or grind and clench your teeth, you could be at a higher risk of breaking your crown. While they\u2019re designed to chew and bite, constant grinding causes unnecessary wear and weakens them. This habit can also have a huge impact on your natural teeth, so it\u2019s best to visit your dentist for a custom-fitted mouthguard if you know you have this bad oral habit.<\/p>\n<h2>Improper Installation<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, a failed crown can be out of your control. If the restoration wasn\u2019t made or installed properly, it can fall off. When you\u2019re searching for a dental professional to have your restoration installed, be sure to ask them how much experience they have and be sure they have the necessary\u00a0qualifications.<\/p>\n<h2>What Should You Do When You Have A Damaged Crown?<\/h2>\n<p>The moment you realize your crown has been damaged, immediately try to get to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bearcreekfamilydentistry.com\/adult-dentistry.html\">your dentist<\/a> or call them and schedule an appointment. A broken crown could be painful, so be sure to let them know if you\u2019re experiencing any discomfort. If your restoration gets damaged outside of regular business hours, have the number for a local emergency dentist on hand to prevent further damage and decay.<\/p>\n<p>Taking care of a dental emergency as soon as possible can help you avoid any future complications. Crowns break unexpectedly, so it\u2019s best to be prepared and react without hesitation to prevent further damage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Bear Creek Family Dentistry, we\u2019re able to provide all of your loved ones with the services they need.
