As great as dental crowns are, you still need to switch them out every so often. These caps<\/a> can fail for various reasons and have limited lifespans; they don’t last forever. With that said, just how do you tell when it’s time to replace one? You can quickly grasp the answer with help from your New Lenox dentist. To do so, just keep reading to learn four signs that you should replace your dental crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You Have Receding Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the gums around your crown are receding, that\u2019s not good news. This recession could mean you need to replace your tooth\u2019s cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A receding gumline often points to a faulty dental crown. When this cap is poorly placed, it can irritate your gum tissue to the point that your gums recede. This process would then put you at high risk of various oral health issues \u2013 tooth decay, oral infections, etc. To avoid such problems, you\u2019d need to replace the old dental crown with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Bite Feels \u201cOff\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An uneven bite isn\u2019t something you should ignore. Among other things, it may indicate that your dental crown should be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, your bite should feel normal when your crown is fitted and placed. Having a new cap on your tooth shouldn\u2019t suddenly destabilize or skew it. If your bite feels uneven over time, your crown may have problems that warrant adjustment or replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Crowned Tooth Aches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your crowned tooth is aching, it may be time to replace your crown. That pain could be a sign your dental cap isn\u2019t working properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be specific, pain in a crowned tooth could show that your crown is damaged. Broken or cracked crowns often expose their underlying teeth, resulting in pain, swelling, and tenderness. A given crown can also wear down until certain parts of it poke your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Crown is Pretty Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if nothing seems wrong with your dental crown, you should replace it when it\u2019s old. The treatment will be less effective once it\u2019s reached its full lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget that a dental crown suffers wear and tear over time. By the time it\u2019s worked for ten years or so, it won\u2019t be very good at protecting your tooth. You should even have your dentist closely monitor the cap at that time; they\u2019ll know if it needs replacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By knowing the signs you should replace your dental crown, you can better protect your smile. Remember that fact as you look after your special cap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
