Temporary Crown Instructions

If you have received a temporary crown, here are some recommendations. This crown is designed to protect your underlying tooth structure while the permanent crown is being fabricated in the lab. The type of cement that holds this crown in place is very weak. Therefore, you have to follow the instructions below to prevent the temporary crown from dislodging.

The home care for the temporary crown:

• Don't floss around it, it will dislodge. However, proper brushing is a must.
• No chewing gum, hard candy, or sticky food until you receive your permanent crown.
• If the temporary crown falls off, please place it in a clean Zip-lock bag and call us to make an appointment for re-cementation.
