Will I be able to eat normally with a crown on my front tooth?

Asked By:karuyen

So I broke my front tooth (called #8 or something?) and I had to get a root canal and a crown. I'm just wondering if I'll ever be able to eat normal again. Would I be able to eat hard foods? I'm not even sure what is considered "hard". Would I be able to eat ribs and such where I need my front teeth to pull food apart? Thanks.
