“Can you chew gum with crowns?”
I will get a dental crown. Can you chew gum with crowns?

Yes
Absolutely.Crowns look and feel like a natural tooth and are very strong.
Yes (permanent crowns, but not with temporary crowns).

Yes, you can chew gum after the final crown is delivered, but not while you have a temporary crown, as it is held on by soft cement, and you might "loosen" the temporary crown. The final crown is placed with hard cement.It is also important, when chewing gum, to choose only gum with Xylitol (a natural sugar) as the primary ingredient. Do not use ones with sucrose, manitol, sorbitol, or any artificial sweetener.
You can chew gum with crowns but in general gum chewing over long
periods of time can hurt the TMJ and fracture teeth
