Have you ever noticed that dental and medical professionals speak what seems like a foreign language? As if it weren’t intimidating enough simply being in the dental chair having your teeth examined, but then you have the added stress of wondering what exactly is being said about you!
Hearing about your “probe readings” or that one of your teeth has a “mesial fracture line” would make anyone would feel a little nervous. In this blog, your dentist in Richardson will explain one particular term you may have heard recently: a dental crown. You’ll learn what a crown is and why you might need one so that next time, you’ll be a better-informed patient!
It’s Friday night and you’re so glad that the weekend has finally arrived. After a long week at work, you’ve planned the perfect mix of relaxation and fun – binge watching some favorite TV and having dinner with friends on Saturday. But just as the weekend is getting started you bite down on something at dinner and realize one of your crowns has come off. Yikes! Thankfully, you’re not in pain (and even avoided swallowing it) but you’d still like to get it taken care of as soon as possible. Since it’s late on Friday night you’re just crossing your fingers that you won’t have to wait until Monday!
