A
lot of people like to chew gum, but wonder if it will hinder their crowns. The
crowns are devices that dentists oral certain structures placed within the
mouth of a patient for a variety of reasons. The tooth may be broken or
weakened by decay or other damage. They can be used to shore up the structure
after a root canal. If a dental implant is attached inside the mouth with a
titanium screw into the jawbone and the pillar one, may be covered by a crown.
The crowns are made from different materials such as porcelain, gold, other
metal or a compound formed by various combinations. Some of these materials
offer a more natural, while others are extremely durable.
Chewing
gum has been around for millions of years. The ancient civilizations of Greece,
South America and North America use different tree sap as their chewing gum.
This sap came from a variety of trees such as cedar, sapodilla, and mastic.
While modern varieties of sugar are believed to be harmful and promote tooth,
this is not always true. Some gum been recommended by dental organizations and
even bear the logo of the recommendation of the ADA.
Certain products that are
not too sticky or sugar laden can actually help you get rid of food particles
that lead to plaque buildup. However, people should be aware that this practice
does not replace the need for regular dental hygiene brushing and flossing at
least twice a day. And in addition to that you should be very careful while
having colored foods in case it might stain your crown. And remember the fact
that teeth whitening products are
not going to whiten your crown
