Not brushing the teeth regularly, not cleaning the mouth with mouthwash, not using dental floss are the main causes of bad breath. Sometimes tonsil diseases and fungal diseases of the gums and palate can also be the cause of bad breath in the mouth. Although patients think that the source of bad breath is due to the zirconia crown, this is wrong. It will be useful to consult with the dentist to find out the real cause of the odor in the mouth.

Since our real teeth are natural, they are easily affected by the colors of foods. However, since the surface of zirconium crowns is smooth and flat, there is no color change because it is artificial, and it is not adversely affected by tea, coffee and cigarettes. Due to its smooth and slippery structure, food residues cannot adhere to the tooth surface. Yellowing does not occur over time. However, if oral care is not good, an easy-to-clean layer may form on the tooth surface. This situation can be easily resolved with a cleaning done in 5 minutes by the dentist in a single session.
