To prevent damage or cracked crowns, avoid chewing hard food, ice or other hard objects. You also want to avoid molars. In addition to visiting the dentist and brushing twice a day, cleaning between the teeth is crucial to the crown. Dental floss or interdental cleaners (specially shaped brushes and sticks) are an important tool for removing plaque from the area of the crown where the gum touches the teeth. Plaque in the area can cause tooth decay and gum disease.
