Keep reading to learn more about dental crowns, including their many uses and what your dentist will do to ensure your comfort while you receive yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Many Uses of Dental Crowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental crowns are basically protective caps for your teeth; they cover them above the gumline and act as special coats of armor, safely sealing your teeth inside and protecting their precious enamel from the many things that threaten it. They have many different uses, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Protecting damaged, fractured, or decayed teeth.<\/li><li>Covering a misshapen or discolored tooth.<\/li><li>Preserving a tooth that\u2019s undergone root canal therapy.<\/li><li>Securing a dental bridge.<\/li><li>Protecting a dental implant.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does It Hurt to Get a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dental crown procedure typically takes place over the course of two appointments; but despite this, the entire process is relatively pain-free for patients! While you might experience some mild sensitivity, your dentist will give you an anesthetic like they would with a filling. They can even apply a jelly that numbs the skin around the anesthetic injection site\u2014your comfort is your dentist\u2019s top priority, after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a chance that you might experience minor pain and tenderness in the affected area after receiving your crown, but this is your body\u2019s natural response to the procedure, and you should be back to feeling normal within a week or so. This soreness can also stem from the anesthetic injection site, rather than the actual crown; but over-the-counter pain medication can usually address this. You might also develop painful problems from failing to properly care for your crown after receiving it. Oral bacteria can easily grow inside the crown and also around it, so be sure to brush and floss daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental crowns are an excellent option for treating and protecting compromised teeth; and getting them is relatively pain-free! In fact, they actually end up offsetting several potentially painful oral health issues that could develop down the road. That said, if your dentist has informed you that you\u2019ll need a crown, don\u2019t worry\u2014your smile will soon be back on track!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Francisca A.
