Dental crowns are one of the most reliable ways to protect and restore damaged teeth. At Rapha Dental, we see many Delran patients choose crowns to strengthen their smiles, whether after a root canal, to cover a cracked tooth, or to replace a large filling.

To help your crown last for many years, here are our top dental crown aftercare:

1. Avoid Sticky or Chewy Foods at First

In the first few days, skip sticky candies, gum, and chewy meats that could pull at your crown. Start with softer foods like mashed potatoes, yogurt, or soup until you feel comfortable chewing normally.

2. Be Gentle While Numb

If your mouth is still numb after your appointment, be careful not to bite your cheek, tongue, or lips. Wait until sensation fully returns before eating.

3. Don’t Attempt DIY Repairs

If your crown feels loose or comes off, don’t try to reattach it with glue or adhesives. This can cause damage or infection. Call our office right away so we can fix it professionally.

4. Floss with Care

Slide floss out from the side rather than snapping it up to avoid loosening the crown. Gentle flossing and daily brushing are key to keeping the area healthy.

5. Schedule Regular Check-Ups

Crowns are strong, but the tooth underneath still needs care. Routine dental visits allow us to check for early signs of wear, decay, or gum issues.
