Why should my child get a pediatric dental crown?

Dental crowns are the best way to repair your child’s cracked, broken, decayed, or infected tooth. During the crown process, your child’s pediatric dentist will remove all the damaged material from their tooth. Then, they’ll fit your child for a strong, durable, and long-lasting crown that will cover your child’s tooth and protect it. With a crown, you can prevent further damage, relieve discomfort, and get peace of mind. You’ll know that your child’s tooth will stay healthy for years to come.

Board-Certified Pediatric Dentists

Our pediatric dentists are certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. That means years of extra training after dental school focused only on kids, from first teeth through the teen years, so your child is cared for by someone who knows growing smiles inside and out.

Laughing Gas for Little Smiles

The most mild form of sedation, nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas or minimally inhaled sedation, is a safe way to ensure your child stays relaxed during their treatment.

Oral Conscious Sedation

Oral conscious sedation is taken in liquid or pill form, and can be administered 30-60 minutes before your child’s treatment. It’s a great option for kiddos with more severe dental anxiety, or those undergoing more complex procedures.

The Benefits of Pediatric Dental Crowns

Save a Damaged Tooth

When a baby tooth has a large cavity or has had a pulpotomy, a crown covers and protects it so it can stay in place until the adult tooth is ready.

Durable Protection

Pediatric crowns are built to withstand chewing and active kids, protecting the tooth from further decay and breakage.

Comfortable Chewing

Restoring the tooth's shape lets your child eat comfortably and keeps the tooth working normally until it falls out naturally.

The Pediatric Dental Crown Treatment Process

Exam & Diagnosis

Your child's dentist examines the tooth and takes x-rays to decide whether a crown is the best way to restore it.

Prepare the Tooth

After the area is numbed, and with sedation if needed, decay is removed and the tooth is gently shaped so the crown fits snugly.

Place the Crown

A pre-formed crown is sized and cemented in place, often in a single visit. We'll check it at future checkups to make sure it's holding up well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help your child chew and speak. Some baby molars stay in place until around age 10 to 12, so protecting a damaged tooth can prevent pain, infection and spacing problems.

No. We numb the area first, and sedation options are available for kids who are anxious or need more extensive care. Some soreness afterward is normal and usually fades within a day or two.

Your child's dentist will recommend the type of crown that suits the tooth's location and condition, and explain the options to you before treatment.

Brush and floss around it just like a natural tooth, and limit sticky candies that can pull on the crown. We'll check it at every six-month visit.
