However, every crown is different and may need to be repaired even earlier than this. It is a good idea to keep an eye on your crowns so that you know when that time is. Continue reading to learn some signs from a dentist in Friendship Heights that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ddsdc.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">dental crown replacement<\/a> is around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Are Experiencing Gum Recession<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bacteria are more likely to gather around a tooth with a crown than a tooth that is not compromised. Because of this, having a dental crown actually increases your risk of developing gum disease. Excellent oral hygiene and an antibacterial mouthwash can help to reduce your risks, but you should still have your crown checked regularly by your dentist, especially if you have a receding gumline. Your crown may need to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You are Feeling Pain or There Is Swelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you notice pain, swelling, or inflammation surrounding your dental crown, you should make an appointment to see your dentist. Your crown could either be placed incorrectly, old, or damaged. In the end, it may need to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There Is Wear and Tear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental crowns are long lasting, but they aren\u2019t made to be around forever. Wearing can occur over time, especially if you grind your teeth or are not following a proper oral hygiene routine. You should check with your dentist to discover the cause of the wearing and determine whether or not it is time for a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Don\u2019t Like How Your Crown Looks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if your crown is functioning properly, not liking the way it looks is a valid reason to want to have it replaced. People who have porcelain crowns fused to metal may notice a dark line along the tooth. If you have cosmetic concerns, this is something to discuss with your dentist. They want you to feel confident when you smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Crown\u2019s Getting Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if your dental crown does not show any signs of physical damage, it may still be a good idea to replace it if it is over ten years old. Many crowns can last longer, but you should definitely be seeing a dentist on a regular basis to have it monitored. This way, it can be replaced on time when the day comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental crowns are an excellent way to save teeth that have been damaged or compromised in the past, but they aren\u2019t always going to last. By staying on top of your dental checkups and keeping an eye out for these signs, you can keep your crowns in excellent shape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ddsdc.com\/meet-doctor-obholz.html\">Dr. Yelena Obholz<\/a> earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from New York University College of Dentistry and is committed to completing continuing education courses in order to keep her knowledge and skills sharp.
