Whether it\u2019s from poor oral hygiene, incorrect placement, or unexpected stress, dental crowns can come off and expose your decayed tooth underneath. For these reasons, dental crowns can fail, according to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/dental-crowns-bridges.html\">dentist in Bellingham<\/a>. Luckily, preventing them from failing is simple, as long as you commit to a strict oral care routine.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>How Dental Crowns Can Fail<\/h2>\r\nThere are many circumstances that can cause a dental crown to fail. With theses situations in mind, you\u2019ll be better equipped to prevent a crown from failing in the future:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Ill-Fitting Crowns<\/strong> \u2013 If a previous dentist failed to take the time to ensure your crown was fitted properly, it can increase the chances of the crown falling off, even while performing basic functions like chewing.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Lack of Remaining Tooth Structure<\/strong> \u2013 If there isn\u2019t enough tooth left for a dental crown to sit on, then it won\u2019t be able to fit properly. In this case, an extraction and dental implant may be a better treatment option.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Decay Underneath the Crown<\/strong> \u2013 Whether it was initial decay or decay that formed after placement, it just proves how important daily oral care is to keeping dental crowns intact.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Poor Cement Quality<\/strong> \u2013 If the cement used by your previous dentist wasn\u2019t sufficient or you used over-the-counter cement as a permanent solution, your crown can easily fall off.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Unforeseen Stresses<\/strong> \u2013 If you clench or grind your teeth often, it can cause the crown to become worn down and change shape over time. This can affect its placement and cause it to dislodge.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>How to Prevent Failure<\/h2>\r\nDental crowns in Bellingham are not permanent, but they can still last for many decades when cared for properly. Technically, dental crowns don\u2019t require any additional care compared to your natural teeth. Sufficient care consists of brushing twice a day for at least two minutes with a fluoridated toothpaste and flossing daily.\r\n\r\nPay close attention to the area around the bottom of the crown where your natural tooth is exposed. You\u2019ll also want to visit your dentist every six months to ensure your oral health and crowns are in good condition. Make sure you aren\u2019t putting large amounts of stress on your crowns or failing to protect them. This includes chewing extremely hard foods, using your teeth as a tool, or not using protection when you need it (i.e. via a mouthguard or nightguard.)\r\n\r\nAre you afraid your dental crown is in bad shape?
