How do you care for Stainless Steel Crowns?

How do you care for Stainless Steel Crowns?

Stainless steel crowns are cemented to the teeth but may become de-bonded particularly with hard or sticky food (muesli bars, confectionary). Teeth treated with a stainless steel crown still need thorough brushing and flossing to maintain their health. Teeth should have radiographs (x-rays) at least every two years to monitor the underlying tooth.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
