Dental Crowns
Can a tooth with a crown still get cavities?
While the crown itself cannot decay, the natural tooth underneath can still develop cavities, especially at the gum line where the crown meets the tooth. Good oral hygiene — brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits — is essential to protect the underlying tooth and maintain the crown's seal.
