Home After Care - Temporary Crowns

After receiving your temporary crown, make sure you take care of it by following these simple directions:

Avoid eating anything for an hour or more to allow the bonding agent to set.
Avoid eating foods that will stick or cause you to chew hard, or use the other side of your mouth to chew.
If an anesthetic was used to perform your procedure, try not to chew any food or gum until the numbness has ended.
Carefully brush to keep it clean.
Take your medications or antibiotics (if prescribed) as stated.
Rinse your mouth with salt water 3 times a day to reduce swelling.

You will most likely have discomfort for a few days after your procedure, however if your temporary crown feels crooked, comes off or your sensitivity/pain increases, please call our office with your concerns.
