How do I care for a dental crown?

When it comes to caring for your dental crown, there is nothing special that you need to do. You just need to care for it as you would a natural tooth. Brush, floss, and rinse at home as part of your oral hygiene regimen. See your dentist twice a year for a checkup and dental cleaning. And try to avoid chewing on hard objects such as pens or pencils and overly hard food.
