Crowns and fruit strips are not a good combination. They join the list of banned substances: Jelly Bellies, hard candies, caramels, toffee, and other foods that can either crack or loosen a crown.
It seemed like such an innocent pleasure. We had stopped at the Canal Visitor Center and Loren offered me a 100% organic pomegranate real fruit strip - only 45 calories. It was just the little pick-me-up I needed until we had lunch in Peninsula.
As I began chewing it, I bit down on something hard. Since I had lost a piece of porcelain on another tooth just a few days before, I knew that I had broken another tooth. I was actually relieved to see that it was a crown that had come loose.
Today my dentist told me that there is actually a substance much like a fruit strip that is used to pull crowns off. I am sure that it doesn’t taste as good as the one did yesterday.
