Answer 1

dental crowns are not a real tooth, so of course you will feel uncomfortable for the first time, cos it's not natural, but you'll get used to it soon or later.

the best way to maintain your crowns are to have a really good oral hygiene, you should brush every after meal and do flossing at least once a day.

Juz as you said, it can start to decay by making home for sugars, that's why you need to maintain your oral hygiene, toothbrushing and flossing is really important, and please don't use toothpick.

Good oral hygiene = No decay = no problem
