Scientists consider the human teeth and the rest of the body to be a biomechanical marvel. Dentists can still damage, discolor, break, or decay teeth. Patients should see their dentist at least twice a year (or every six months) to get a cleaning and receive proper dental care.

Arrow Dental Arts dentists will inspect your mouth and identify any decay or cavities. If you have fractures in your teeth, crowns might be recommended. You will then be scheduled for crowns or fillings to prevent any further damage or shattering.

How do dental crowns get cavities?

Dental crowns are made of porcelain, porcelain fused to metal, or gold. Dental crowns are a strong covering that protects sensitive teeth against infection and breaksage. Some patients aren’t sure if they can develop cavities after a crown is installed.

Is there a way to find out? The answer is:

Poor hygiene is the most common cause. Plaque and bacteria can quickly form. Crowns can also cause cavities. Plaque formation around the crown or tooth’s gum line is often what causes this.

How can I stop Cavities From Forming Under My Crowns?

If you take the time to maintain your crowns and have regular check-ups, they can last for many years. Neglecting to take care of your teeth properly can cause even the highest quality crowns to fail.

To prevent decay around the edges of tooth restorations, patients should brush their teeth at minimum twice daily. Patients can either floss after every meal or use a water flossing method to remove food particles.

Cavities prevention requires daily attention and care. It doesn’t have be something you do all by yourself. Regular dental visits can help to prevent tooth decay. Your dentist will be able to spot minor problems early with digital imaging and X-rays.

If properly maintained, crowns can add strength, functionality, beauty, and beauty to your smile.
