Do I have to take any precautions when I have been fitted with a temporary crown?

During the time when we have fitted you with a temporary Crown, you will have to take some precautions regarding the food you eat. Temporary Crowns are, by their nature, not intended to last forever and are therefore not fixed as securely as permanent Crowns.

Therefore, it will be necessary to avoid chewing on the side of the mouth which has the temporary Crown fitted and to steer clear of sticky foods which might pull the Crown out, or hard foods which may chip and damage it. As temporary Crowns tend to stain more easily than permanent crowns, it may also be sensible to avoid foods which tend to stain, such as beetroot or curry.
