Tooth Cavities in Children
Tooth cavities have always been a common problem for children and over time, a child’s tooth can get damaged. This can occur as a result of tooth injury or decay. These can cause the teeth to lose their shape, color, strength, and size.
What Are Tooth-Colored Crowns?
Tooth-colored crowns, also referred to as dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps made of metal or porcelain placed over a child’s tooth to protect, cover and restore the tooth’s shape, size, appearance, and function. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully enclose the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies on or above the gum line.
Why Tooth-Colored Crowns?
Tooth-colored crowns are a needful treatment for children for several reasons. This is because it helps to protect the tooth of a child from decaying. It also helps to fix a broken tooth, cover a discolored tooth, hold a dental bridge in place, and make modifications to a disfigured tooth.
Due to the strength and durability of the tooth-colored crown, it is recommended for your child to help them maintain good oral hygiene. It is imperative to encourage oral hygiene in children to protect healthy teeth from potential decay.
Procedure for Tooth-Colored Crown at Amor Kids Dentistry
Our tooth-colored crown procedure at Amor Kids Dentistry begins with a proper diagnosis. If our experienced dentists determine that a tooth-colored crown is right for your child, we will design a suitable treatment plan. Our dentists will perform the procedure by making sure the area around the tooth is carefully numbed with local anesthesia.
Once the child is numb, the affected tooth is carefully removed and the tooth is filed to prepare it for the crown. Depending on the type of tooth-colored crown to be used, an impression of the tooth may or may not be required. Impression, if needed, can be prepared by using a dental putty or a digital scanner, then sent to the lab where the crown is fabricated. Our team selects a shade that matches the exact color of your child’s teeth.
