Dental crowns are versatile treatments available to patients, including children. Excessive tooth decay is the most frequent reason crowns are needed in young patients. When applied, dental crowns reduce the risk of progressive decay or damage to affected primary teeth. Additionally, they allow permanent teeth to emerge properly, which can help prevent future orthodontic procedures.
If your child’s tooth has suffered decay too large for a dental filling, a crown may be indicated to restore the tooth’s health and function. Crowns can also be used to restore healthy teeth chipped, broken, or developing improperly. The material for crowns on baby molar teeth is stainless steel and silver in color, providing optimal retention and resistance. More esthetic options can be placed on front teeth, such as stainless steel with a white coating or white-colored resin crowns.
We invite you to call the Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics of Jackson to learn more about children’s crowns.
