阿威獸醫師的開口啟齒：動物裝上牙冠或牙橋以後，飼主該些注意什麼？
Many dogs and cats owners always ask whether they can eat hard food or not after endodontics and installing crown or bridge?

Although dental materials and technology have been quite advanced, and the patients can chew normal food normally after treatment, it is still not recommended to allow dogs and cats to bite hard things, such as bones, furniture, stones, etc., otherwise their bite force may still improve the risk of damaged of crown, bridges or dentures.

The picture shows a patient of our hospital. One year after installing the zirconia dental bridge, it continued to bite the metal door handle, which caused serious wear on the dental bridge.

In addition, the maintenance of the crown, bridge or dentures also requires brushing, scaling and root planing to clean the teeth, and regular follow-up inspections, so that the crown, bridge or dentures can be used longer and avoid gingivitis or periodontitis.

不少根管治療的狗貓患者在裝上牙冠或牙橋後，飼主總會詢問能不能吃硬的食物？

雖然現在牙科材料與技術已經相當進步，可正常咀嚼一般食物，仍不建議讓狗貓咬太硬的東西，如骨頭、傢俱、石頭等，否則以狗貓的咬合力仍可能提高損壞牙冠、牙橋或假牙的風險。

圖中為本院個案在裝上氧化鋯牙橋一年後因持續啃咬金屬門把，造成牙橋磨損嚴重。

另外牙冠、牙橋或假牙的保養也是需要刷牙，定期洗牙將全口牙齒細縫徹底清潔乾淨，並定期追蹤檢查，才能讓牙冠、牙橋或假牙使用更久，避免造成牙齦炎或牙周炎。
