Have you ever had a dental cap (crown) come loose or fall off? It can be frustrating! Here’s why it happens:

🔹 Loose Bonding: Over time, the glue (cement) that holds the cap in place may weaken. 🔹 Hard or Sticky Foods: Biting on hard foods like chikki, nuts, or ice 🍬🥜 can loosen the cap. Sticky foods like caramel or chewing gum can also pull it off. 🔹 Tooth Decay Under the Cap: If the tooth underneath gets decayed, the cap may not fit well anymore. 🔹 Teeth Grinding: Some people unknowingly grind their teeth at night 😬, which puts pressure on the cap. 🔹 Accidents or Injury: A sudden hit or trauma to the mouth can dislodge the cap.

How to Prevent It? 🚫

• Avoid very hard or sticky foods that can damage the cap.
• Brush and floss daily to prevent decay under the cap. 🪥
• If you grind your teeth, wear a night guard for protection.
• Visit your dentist regularly to ensure the cap is in good condition. 👩‍⚕️
• If your cap feels loose, don’t ignore it—get it checked before it falls off!
