CAN I GET CAVITIES UNDER CROWN OR FILLING • Location: Cavities often form at the gum line, where the crown meets the natural tooth. • Wear and Tear: Over time, crowns can wear down, making them prone to decay. • Receding Gums: Gum recession can expose the edges of crowns or fillings, increasing cavity risk. • Filling Deterioration: Fillings can deteriorate or develop decay around their edges. • Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to prevent cavities under dental work. • Regular Check-ups: Regular dental visits help catch issues early. • Symptoms: Sensitivity, pain, or visible changes may indicate cavities under crowns or fillings. • Preventive Care: Using floss, and avoiding sugary foods can help prevent cavities.
