There are many reasons for temporary crowns to be placed. One reason for a temporary crown is for your comfort. Without the temporary crown, the tooth may become very sensitive. Even breathing in air can be painful!
The most important reason for a temporary crown is to keep the place of the tooth we are working on in your mouth. Without the temporary crown, your teeth can shift and move without the temporary crown holding that space! The temporary crown also is there to protect your gums and help them stay healthy until the permanent crown arrives. All of these facts show how the temporary crown is just as important as the permanent crown!
