how long after temporary crown can i eat

Hello! Usually, dentists recommend waiting at least 30 minutes to an hour after getting a temporary crown before you eat. That's because the adhesive used to fix the crown needs some time to set.

Yes, indeed! It's often encouraged to avoid hard or sticky foods that could potentially dislodge the temporary crown. Also, eating on the other side of your mouth can help protect the crown.

You can drink liquids, but it's advisable to avoid very hot or cold drinks immediately after the procedure. These can trigger sensitivity and discomfort. So it's best to stick to room temperature beverages for a while.
