<div class="entry-content">
<p>A lot of people know that the <strong>dental crowns </strong>exist. However they do not know how these crowns are installed. This was the thing I experienced too. I did not know how this was done and I thought that it was a huge and dangerous procedure.</p>
<p lang="en-US"><a href="#"></a>After every kid I gave birth to <strong>one of my teeth broke</strong>, I lost small pieces of them because the calcium was used from my body and my teeth got week.</p>
<p lang="en-US">So I ran to my dentist, she used to put some fillings to these teeth since I was too afraid of getting crowned. Although she kept reminding me that this would be the best solution for me in order to avoid future damages to my week teeth. I hesitated several years, but last year I finally decided to have 2 of my jaw teeth crowned. This way I wouldn’t have to worry about chewing and breaking my teeth.</p>
<p lang="en-US">About the procedure, this is how she proceeded:</p>
<p lang="en-US">First she gave me some <strong>shots around the tooth</strong> (ouch) and <strong>filed them</strong> just a millimeter or too around the whole tooth. This was not a nice feeling although I did not have any pain thanks to the shot. Then I got to go home for some days and later on she <strong>took a print of my teeth and my bite</strong> as well and they used these to make a perfectly fitting tooth for me. This must be such an artistic work!</p>
<p lang="en-US">After a week or so I went back to the dentist and she tried the crowns on my filed teeth. This was the longest week in my life. Every time I drank or ate something or even just when breathing through my mouth those filed teeth hurt with sharp pain. After making sure that they fitted perfectly she <strong>pushed down my flesh around my teeth</strong> a little bit (this was kinda hurting) and then <strong>glued them to my teeth with some cement</strong>.</p>
<p lang="en-US">I was going to add a video here about dental crowns but I reckon that probably you wouldn’t want to see this (I wouldn’t want to see this at least). </p>
<p lang="en-US">Anyways if you need a dental crown and you are afraid of it I can assure you that it is <strong>worth the inconvenience</strong>. Totally worth it. My crowns look just like my own teeth and now I do not have to worry about breaking them. Nice!</p>
