If your dentist suggests getting a dental crown, you might feel slightly nervous. The treatment<\/a>, after all, has some nasty rumors around it. In particular, some say that it\u2019s a rather painful procedure. In truth, however, these stereotypes are false and unfounded. The crowning process is painless! To learn how that\u2019s possible, just listen to your Dallas dentist. Here\u2019s a summary of why a dental crown treatment doesn\u2019t hurt, including how delaying care risks pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dental Crowns Aren\u2019t Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dental crown procedure involves two appointments \u2014 the initial \u201cprep visit\u201d and the later \u201cfinal placement.\u201d While these sessions have different aims and methods, though, they\u2019re neither painful nor harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prep Visit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Per its name, the prep visit prepares your tooth for a future crown. In particular, it has your dentist remove bits of your pearly white\u2019s enamel. By doing so, a dental practice can make room for the prosthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, this removal process doesn\u2019t hurt. Before it takes place, the dentist will numb your tooth with a dental anesthetic.  You thus won\u2019t feel anything except some mild pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you\u2019d expect, the final placement is the visit where a dentist bonds your tooth to the crown. In other words, it puts the prosthetic in place with dental cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with the prep visit, the final placement is painless. Your dentist will (once again) numb the affected area so it won\u2019t feel anything. The anesthesia wears off gradually, though, so your tooth won\u2019t sense anything until you return home. Furthermore, the practice can even offer a sedative for treatment-related anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Risks of Avoiding Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps surprisingly, it\u2019s actually riskier to avoid a crown than to get one. You\u2019re likely to feel pain and discomfort without treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, a crown protects your pearly white from bacteria, plaque, and other factors. As such, failing to get the restoration raises the tooth\u2019s odds of breaking down. This decline can then lead to a toothache, gum disease, or worse. You might even face a dental emergency, which is never pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, there\u2019s no reason to fear a dental crown treatment. Therefore, go ahead and book one with your local dentist \u2014 you\u2019ll spare yourself some pain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
