It is possible for crowns to chip, come loose, or fall off. Fortunately, you can care for them almost exactly the same way you care for real teeth to prevent these issues.

Brush at least twice daily, floss regularly, and keep up with routine cleanings. If you grind your teeth at night, Dr. Pavel Dubinetsky, DMD, may recommend a nightguard. Moreover, avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods, and try to chew on the opposite side of your cap, whether it is temporary or permanent.
