Cavities on crowned teeth
Can you still get cavities after you crown a tooth? Unfortunately, yes you can. An artificial crown covers a tooth only upto a certain point, and anything below the crown (usually the root surface of the tooth) is still susceptible to cavities. This is why a proper diet, brushing and flossing are critical even after getting a tooth crowned.
