Question

What kind of food should I eat and not eat, after putting on a gold tooth??.

Sidney Friedman, DDS · Answer

You really should not have any restrictions with your gold crown.  You should always stay away from extremely hard things such as ice cubes and "rock candy" on all of your teeth to avoid chipping or breaking them, but otherwise you should be ok.  Hope this helps.

Hi:SInce gold is a metal you are not restricted to not eating hard food.  Initially your tooth can be more sensitive to tempresature due the metal conduction of temperatures but after a while you should not have any other problems.Best,Dr. Maddahi

There should not be any *major* restrictions to your diet with a gold crown (assuming you mean crown when you say "gold tooth").

However, always keep in mind that a prosthesis can never be as strong as your original tooth.  Also keep in mind that if you had a root canal on this tooth, the tooth will be even weaker.
