Dental cavities

I have noticed that teeths around previously operated tooth with root canal start getting affected with cavities and require root canal in 2 years. Either the tooth in upper or lower jaw gets affected or the tooth next to the one with ceramic cap gets affected. Why is this happening and what can I do ?

Artificial crowns require little extra care around them, you need to floss and maintain the oral hygiene effectively to avoid future cavities.
Next Steps
Get a comprehensive check up done to understand the status of existing fillings and crowns. On rare occasions, if there is damage to the adjesent tooth while cap placement it may result in new catives.
Health Tips
Floss around the crowns, two times a day and rinse after every meal.
