About The Video
In this video, Dr Peng Ru Soo from Dental Designs Clinic talks about the different ways dental crowns can sometimes fail. These issues can involve how the crown looks, how it fits, or how it affects your teeth and gums. He covers things like colour mismatch, gum recession, decay under crowns, and sensitivity. Dr Soo explains these problems in a simple and clear way so patients can understand what to look out for.
He also gives helpful tips to prevent problems with your crowns. These include brushing and flossing regularly, avoiding hard foods, using sensitive toothpaste, and visiting the dentist for regular check-ups. If something goes wrong with your crown, Dr Soo encourages you to get it checked early. This helps avoid bigger issues and keeps your crown working well for longer.
Dental crowns are meant to protect and restore teeth, but like anything else, they can run into problems over time. In the video, Dr Peng Ru Soo explains that these problems usually fall into four groups: how the crown looks, how it affects your teeth and gums, how strong it is, and how it was fitted. Some common issues include chipped or worn-down crowns, pain or sensitivity, gum shrinkage, and crowns coming loose.
Luckily, many of these problems can be prevented with good care. Dr Soo suggests avoiding chewing hard objects, using toothpaste for sensitive teeth, and wearing a mouth guard if you grind your teeth. He also stresses the importance of seeing your dentist regularly to catch problems early. This way, your crown can last longer and keep your smile healthy and comfortable. If you ever feel that something isn’t right with your crown, don’t wait, get it checked.
