tooth crown - #18159

Doctor, I recently had a consultation with my dentist, and they recommended that I get a tooth crown placed on one of my molars, which has been damaged due to a cavity. The tooth has been bothering me for a while, and the dentist explained that the crown would help restore its shape and function. I’m wondering if a tooth crown is the best option for my situation or if there are any alternatives that I should consider. From what I understand, a tooth crown is a cap that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its appearance and strength. But I’m curious about the process involved. Is the procedure painful, and how long does it take to get a crown fitted? Will I need to undergo multiple visits, or can the crown be made and placed in one appointment? I’ve heard that there are different types of crowns, such as porcelain, ceramic, metal, and a combination of these materials. Which one is the best for durability and aesthetics, especially since this tooth is in the back of my mouth? Also, are there any risks or complications associated with getting a tooth crown, such as sensitivity or gum issues? I’d like to understand if Ayurveda has any perspectives on dental health and crowns. For instance, does Ayurveda have remedies that can help support the strength of the tooth before and after getting a crown? Are there natural treatments or oils that can help keep my gums and teeth healthy? I’ve heard that clove oil is often used for toothaches—are there any other herbal treatments that can promote oral health and reduce the risk of needing a crown in the future? Please share your insights on whether getting a tooth crown is the best option for me, and if there are any Ayurvedic or natural methods I can use to support my oral health before and after the procedure.
