If your child has a broken, deeply decayed, or damaged tooth, the dentist may be able to save It with a dental crown.
A dental crown is a hollow replica of the damaged tooth. After the dentist treats the tooth, we can cement the crown to restore bite, aesthetics, and function.
Keeping Your Child’s Smile Healthy
Of course, it’s best not to need restorations and maintain the natural tooth’s integrity. To lower your child’s risks of needing a tooth crown or other restorations, be sure they do the following:
- Brush their teeth at least twice daily.
- Floss their teeth at least twice daily.
- See the dentist every six months.
- Avoid or lower intake of acidic and sugary foods and drinks.
- Wear a mouth guard during activities like baseball or other sports.
- Wear a nightguard if diagnosed with bruxism (teeth grinding).
- Talk to your child’s dentist if you have specific concerns.
Regular dental care and at-home vigilance lower your child's risk of needing a tooth crown or other dental restoration.
