Here\u2019s what you can do to stay comfortable after the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Day Of<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most cases, your dentist will apply an anesthetic before your dental crown procedure to make it as comfortable as possible. After your crown has been placed, you\u2019ll then need to wait for the anesthetic to wear off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until then, it\u2019s possible that you could accidentally bite your cheek without realizing it, or burn yourself on something hot. For that reason, you should try to avoid eating anything chewy or hot until then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Through Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the procedure itself tends to be painless, most people report dealing with a little bit of sensitivity in the days afterward. Most of the aftercare tends to involve managing this discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the first things you can try is an over-the-counter pain reliever, whatever you would normally take for a headache. Your gums may also be irritated due to the dental cement\u2014if so, most pharmacies carry an anti-inflammatory topical gel designed specifically for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it\u2019s also normal for the dental crown to feel a little bit strange in your mouth for a while after its placement. You\u2019ll get used to it after a while, so just hang in there until then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you find that these problems continue after several weeks or are severe, you should contact your dentist. There may be an issue with your restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring for your Dental Crown Long-Term<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the sensitivity fades, you can take care of your dental crown just like you would any of your other teeth. Brush it twice a day each day with a soft-bristled toothbrush, and floss around it each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure to see your dentist often as well\u2014they\u2019ll be able to help you look out for health conditions before they become serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Spiro Saati loves being able to help his patients by making use of his expansive dental knowledge.
