I had two dental crowns put on yesterday?

They are the temp ones until the perm ones are made. I'm getting a bad taste in my mouth from them. Is this normal?

I had two dental crowns put on yesterday?
um.. what are dental crowns?
Reply:yes ,find a good rinse formular to get rid of the taste
Reply:Yes this is normal. I've had two of them put in as well. They taste kinda funny, you're just not used to them. It goes away in a bit. You may/or may not get it when you have the real ones in, but it also doesn't take long. I'd advice you to have Tylenol ready...I had quite the sensitive pain when the real crowns got in! It will only last for a day or two though.





All the best
Reply:yes, this bad taste is typically food getting trapped around them and not being cleaned out. sometimes, if the teeth that are getting crowns are next to eachother, the dentist will have the 2 temps stuck together as opposed to having 2 singles. i would recommend flossing and using a mouth rinse in the area. your dentist will thank you for healthy tissues!!
Reply:are you flossing aroung them...you need to.


i have a temp crown on and it catches food a lot.


the dental hygenist told me to keep the area flossed well.


they kind of cut the gums so there is some blood.


that could be the taste.


I had mine Tue and it's fine now.


Will my temporary dental crowns look ugly or fall out while I'm waiting for the permanent porcelain ones?

I'm worried that the temporary ones will look ugly or fall out during the three weeks it takes for the lab to make the permanent ones. They're for my two upper front teeth.

Will my temporary dental crowns look ugly or fall out while I'm waiting for the permanent porcelain ones?
The dentist should/will do everything he can to make the temps look as natural as he can. They glue them in pretty snug, so unless you're eating things you're not suppose to, they will stay in place until the permanent crowns are ready.
Reply:yes
Reply:You could always try duct tape or super glue.lol
Reply:Try Superglue
Reply:No they won't look ugly and they won't fall out. I had temps put in which lasted four months, (most insurances didn't cover crowns back then so I was saving up the money).
Reply:im afraid yes. i also had one when i was younger. but it only took around 5 days here in the philippines.


the temporary ones are white because they are made on the spot for you to wear it once you get out of the clinic. but fortunately they did not fall out.
Reply:No, they are not ugly and will not fall out. I had all my upper teeth crowned and had no difficulties with the temporary crowns.
Reply:Just do not eat pop corn or nuts or anything that might pull it off.
Reply:no i have made a temp crown myself working in the dentists office they wont fall out if you dont chew gum or tear foods off the bone with your teeth cut apples cut chicken etc nothing chewy or sticky they tell you ya can eat anything but their in there with a temp cement so... they will be fine eat gently.. avoid hot hot teas and coffees as this may loosen the cement.. and if it does save the temp crown no matter what.. and see the dentist in an emergency appt usually the hygenist can temp cement a crown in .. and it will be no charge but after perm ones are in it can be 30 -4 0 for a cement.. so if it fall sout at work take dentemp from the toothpaste section at your pharmacy an keep it close by .. if they fall out u can glue it on ur self at work until u get to the dentist.. make sure u fit it 1st so u know which way it goes on then glue it in with the dentemp.. its about 5 bux but buy it now.. keep all this in mind as it happens....they sand ur teeth down like the size of a tic tac so the crown can fit over it.. reason u dont want it to be loose as it if comes off some people swallow it some people can get the tooth under exposed to decay if they go without it for too long and if u have it come off for more than 2 days ur teeth shift from chewing that the crown may not fit so be aware of this as well..
Reply:they should not discolor but be careful because the cement used to hold them in is temporary so do not eat on those teeth for 3 weeks you can eat whatever you want to but not directly on them.
Reply:No the temporary will look nice but its a chance that it will fall out if you are not careful and follow your discharge instructions as they were given....They are cemented with temporary cement so they dont last that long only a week or two at the most!
Reply:They won''t look like the real ones but they will get you by without humiliating yourself. Don't bite into any thing hard and you should be fine
Reply:Your temporary crowns will be made chair side and Your dentist will not let you leave looking bad.... your mouth is a reflection of them. You temporaries will be made of acrylic. The same thing that fake nails are made of. They will be white.... maybe not as white as your own but it is only for three week. They should not come out as long as you don't chew anything chewy or sticky so stay away from the Carmel's..... If they do come out call your dentist and they will get you in an re cement them ASAP... I assist for these EVERYDAY.... I have never had an unhappy patient. good luck.
Reply:Not at all! The temporaries are made from a composite material (very much like the material used in an anterior filling) and shaded to match your own tooth color. I've made bridges, veneers and upper and lower crowns for all anterior teeth. Most people don't want to get the real crown, they fit and feel so good. The average person can't tell they are temporaries. They are made from an impression of what your natural tooth looked like, so it will be an exact replica. Except if you've broken your natural tooth, then we just have to adjust a little to make it look like it is suppose to look. They aren't ugly, and don't fall off. We use some pretty tough cement to fit them temporarily, you have to do your part of coarse, no gum or chewing sticky tough foods. We usually have to use hemostats to remove them when you come back in. So unless you plan on smacking some gum, eating bunches of candy bars or crunching on some nuts, then you should be safe. Hope I've cleared this up, I should know, I've made thousands of them!
Reply:No, your will look fine and nobody will notice.. Don't chew gum or anything sticky like a fruit roll up. It might pull it right off. But again, NO ONE WILL NOTICE.... They look just like your other teeth. I swear!!
Reply:DON"T USE SUPER GLUE! They're temporary for a reason. They're not going to look perfect but, they shouldn't be ugly. Sometimes they do fall out. If this happens you can always call the office to have them seated with temp cement or if that's not an option then you can always put it in yourself with fixodent or some type of denture adhesive. If you're really in a pinch use toothpaste. Make sure you clean out the temp carefully and clean around the prepped tooth carfully. Make sure your tooth and the temporary are dry too.


What kind of dentist does dental crowns?

Your family dentist can do crowns. If you are concerned about the quality of his work ask to see pictures and talk to other patients about crowns they have received. If your dentist doesn't want to share information you may want to go elsewhere.

Any dentist should be able to do it, if your not sure, just call them up and ask.
Reply:All licensed dentists should do this procedure, this is not a specialization.
Reply:All dentists do crowns. They're very expensive. Ask around for someone who has gotton good crowns from what dentist.





Some dentists / labs do better jobs than others. My sister's could always make recommendations because they were hygienists and could see how well they were made.
Reply:All general dentists know how to do crowns, most do them, and some may refer you to a prosthodontist if it's a difficult case.

Do all new dental crowns require a root canal first?

No not at all. Some people have crowns because of a root canal. The root canal therapy leaves the tooth with out a nerve that supplies the nutrients to keep the tooth vital, without it the tooth becomes dried out and brittle and susceptible to fracture and then loss. So they always need a crown to encompass them and give them strength. Others get them because of a fractured cusp or a large filling that's being replaced. They are usually placed to give the tooth structure added support to help it maintain stability during mastication. There are even cases where one is placed side by side just for symmetry especially in anterior teeth. Hope I've cleared this up for you!

Do all new dental crowns require a root canal first?
No. It depends on how deep the damage is. I have a crown on my back molar that didn't need one.
Reply:check it out
Reply:If the tooth has extensive decay or if there is a risk of infection or injury to the tooth's pulp, a root canal treatment may first be performed, but this is not "required"
Reply:No.
Reply:To the point... the answer would be ..NO! We dont remove nerves out of teeth for the hell of it! It's un'ethical.

How could you get use to Dental Crowns?

I just got a new set of crowns in my mouth though they feel to big. Should I goto the dentist and get it fixed. Or could someone tell me how to "get use to them"

How could you get use to Dental Crowns?
Are these crowns on the front teeth then? It is normal for them to feel "too big." I would just give it some time. When you make even small changes in your mouth they seem to feel big, especially to your lips and tongue. If you are pleased with their appearance I would give it some time and see how you adjust. If the crowns are on the back teeth and feel high when you bite, that is something I would see your dentist for, it is just a simple adjustment. I hope this helps. If it would help you to feel more comfortable it does not hurt to just give your dentist a call! :)





Note: I agree with the previous post, they should only feel "different", just most people tend to discribe it as feeling "too big." They offered great advice also!
Reply:Go back to the dentist because they feel "weird" but should not feel too big-- you're saying that when you bite down they are not biting correctly? have the dentist check them out- he may have put in crowns that are too big.......and you cant get used to a foreign object that is oversized in your mouth- not when you have to bite on food ..........see the dentist and explain how it feels make sure he checks by making you bite down on your teeth..........good luck......it'll be hard to have him admit he made a mistake
Reply:Crowns are larger then norm teeth. What you dont want is it hitting your other teeth and causing pain. You will get use to your crown. I reccomend if it dont hurt ir its not hitting give it a few days and soon enough you wont even remember it s there!

Reply:If I understand correctly these crowns are cemented in place, and therefore cannot be removed. You will probably become used to them in a short period of time, just like people with braces get acclimated to those. I would contact your dentist if you have pain or feel like your bite is "off" and they may be able to adjust them a bit. Hope that helps!

Reply:The bite may be off, go to the Dentist for adjustment. Crowns are made to fit your mouth they shouldn t feel high or big. Its normal for them to feel "different" but that should go away within a week. By different I mean smoother then your other teeth or slightly more bulbous, especially if the reason you got a crown was because you had an extremely broken tooth as you are not use to biting on something and now you are. Crowns are expensive and you probably paid enough for then its worth a trip back to the Dentist (even if its for reassurance) Good luck.
Reply:If it feels "big" as in you feel like you can't bite down all the way, then they need to get adjusted by the dentist. If they feel "big" as in slightly thicker to the tougue or the cheek, then you might have to get used to them. Next time you get crowns, feel them out and ask to see them on your teeth before they get cemented. Once they're cemented, there's not much that can be done except adjust the bite.
