Stainless Steel Crown Post-Op Instructions

• You or your child has had a stainless steel crown placed on a primary or permanent teeth. These crowns are permanent crowns for “Baby Teeth” or permanent/interim crowns for permanent teeth. Unlike a permanent crown, stainless steel crowns are mainly held in by cement.

• Do not eat anything sticky that will pull off the crown. (Example: jolly ranchers, fruit snacks, and tootsie rolls)

• Brush normally. While flossing, remove floss from the side. Do not take floss back through the teeth.

• If for any reason the crown does come off, please contract our office as soon as possible. You will need to make an appointment as soon as possible to re-cement your crown.
