Yes, you can eat normally with a crown, but we urge you not to do the following:
- Bite directly into sticky taffy or similar foods with a capped tooth
- Chew on hard objects like pens or ice
- Use your crowned teeth as tools to open bottles or packages
- Ignore loose or damaged crowns
With smart habits, regular oral hygiene, and dental visits every six months, you can extend the life of your dental crown, which typically lasts a decade or longer.
