WHAT IS A PEDIATRIC DENTAL CROWN?
Protection for Growing Smiles.
A pediatric dental crown is a tooth-shaped cover that fits over a damaged or decayed baby tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function, helping your child eat, speak, and smile comfortably while maintaining proper space for their permanent teeth.
WHEN DOES A CHILD NEED A CROWN?
Pediatric Crowns May Be Recommended For:
LARGE CAVITIES
When a cavity is too large to be restored with a filling.
AFTER A PULPOTOMY
To protect a tooth that has had nerve treatment (pulpotomy).
DAMAGED TEETH
To restore teeth that are cracked, fractured or significantly worn.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTION
For weakened teeth that need extra strength to function properly.

WHY TREAT A BABY TOOTH?
Baby Teeth Play a Big Role
Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, they are important for chewing, speech development, maintaining space for permanent teeth and overall oral health. Treating a damaged or decayed baby tooth with a crown helps prevent pain, infection and future alignment issues.
