Every parent desires their child to have a healthy and pain-free smile, without any toothaches or damaged teeth. When decay or injury has caused too much damage to a child’s tooth to be repaired with a simple filling, pediatric dental crowns can be the perfect solution. These crowns are specially designed for tiny teeth, and they effectively restore the damaged tooth. By opting for pediatric dental crowns, parents can ensure that their child’s smile remains healthy as they grow and develop.
What are the benefits of getting a pediatric dental crown for my child?
Pediatric dental crowns offer the most effective solution for repairing your child’s cracked, broken, decayed, or infected tooth. The crown procedure involves the removal of all damaged material from the tooth by Dr. di Bari. Following this, long-lasting crown will be placed over the tooth, providing coverage and protection. By opting for a dental crown, you can proactively prevent additional damage, alleviate any discomfort, and gain peace of mind. Rest assured that your child’s tooth will remain healthy and well-maintained for years to come.
When might a child require a dental crown?
In the event that a child’s tooth is cracked, broken, or has incurred damage, necessitating a baby root canal, our team of experienced pediatric dentists utilizes pediatric dental crowns to restore the affected teeth. In order to determine the optimal type of children’s dental crown, we carefully consider each patient’s individual requirements
What is the procedure for performing a pediatric dental crown?
Pediatric dental crown placement is conducted in-office. Prior to the cosmetic dental crown procedure, the affected tooth and its surrounding area are numbed using local anesthesia. At Russell di Bari DDS, we utilize single tooth anesthesia technology which offers several benefits for our pediatric patients. Additionally, sedation dentistry options may be administered as needed, based on your child’s needs.
After the affected tooth has been numbed, our pediatric dentists will meticulously shape it to the proper form before introducing the dental crown, which is designed to fit snugly over it. The crown is then firmly cemented in place to ensure durable outcomes.
What is the expected lifespan of my child’s dental crown?
As an adult, dental crowns may need to be replaced periodically. However, children’s crowns differ in this regard. Crowns on baby teeth can last for as long as the tooth remains in place naturally. It’s worth noting that having a crown won’t prevent the tooth from falling out when it’s time to do so. Nature will take its course, and the tooth and crown will fall out together. Once the crown is in place, no further treatment should be necessary aside from your child’s regular check-ups and cleanings. We won’t need to remove the dental crown or extract the tooth.
