What You Need to Know"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

A permanent dental crown is designed to restore and protect a damaged or weakened tooth, but it does not mean the tooth can be treated exactly like an indestructible surface. Patients often wonder whether they can eat chips, nuts and other crunchy foods after receiving a crown. In general, occasional chips may be possible once the crown has been permanently fitted and your dentist has cleared you to eat normally, but very hard or crunchy foods can place greater forces on teeth and restorations. This guide explains how chips may affect a dental crown, which foods to be cautious with and how to care for your crowned tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is it safe to eat chips after getting Permanent Crown?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As noted above, chips are intended to be eaten with the teeth that are visible when you smile. Therefore, they do not pose a significant risk of damaging your dental crown. If a chip breaks off of your crown, it can be swallowed or lodged in your gums. It is placed on one of your back teeth and does not have as much protection as one placed on the visible front teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n

    This means that the risk of chips breaking off of this is more significant. However, the same risk applies in both cases: if a chip breaks off of a crown, it can travel through your gums and lodge in your tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Can you eat chips with a Dental Crown?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A chip is a crispy snack that goes nicely with a cold beverage on a hot day. But if you have a permanent crown in the front teeth, you should avoid it. Chips (or any other kind of snack food) can get caught in your crown and cause it to chip or even fall off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
