I would like to know more about the "Dentist Cap"?!


Question:
Answers:
It's worn to keep your their hair out of your mouth.

Cap; also common name for a Crown.

Other Answers:
A Cap is slightly different from a crown - a cap is fitted without the whole of the tooth above the root being removed, whereas a crown is fitted with the whole of the tooth above the root being taken away first.

A cap will be fitted if the tooth is still "alive", whereas a crown would be fitted if the tooth has "died".
