    What Are Pediatric Dental Crowns?

    Pediatric crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover a child’s damaged tooth to restore its function, strength, and appearance. They help protect the tooth until it naturally falls out and makes way for permanent teeth.

    Why Might Your Child Need a Dental Crown?

    • Severe Tooth Decay: If a cavity is too large for a filling, a crown provides full coverage and protection.
    • Broken or Cracked Teeth: Crowns help restore teeth that have been chipped or fractured due to injury.
    • After a Pulpotomy (Baby Root Canal): If the nerve of the tooth is affected, a crown helps keep the tooth strong.
    • Developmental Defects: Some children have weaker enamel, and crowns offer extra support.

    Types of Pediatric Crowns We Offer

    At Kidz Dental Home, we provide different types of crowns based on your child’s needs:

    ✅ Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC) – Strong, durable, and commonly used for back teeth.

    ✅ White Zirconia Crowns – Tooth-colored, aesthetic crowns that blend naturally with other teeth.

    ✅ Resin Crowns – Aesthetic but less durable, usually used for front teeth.

    What to Expect During the Procedure

    Getting a pediatric crown is a quick and comfortable procedure:

    1. The dentist numbs the tooth to ensure pain-free treatment.

    2. Any decay is removed, and the tooth is shaped for the crown.

    3. The crown is carefully fitted and cemented in place.

    4. Your child leaves with a strong, protected tooth and a bright smile!

    Caring for Your Child’s Crown

    To keep their crown in great shape:

    ✔️ Maintain good oral hygiene (brushing twice a day & flossing).

    ✔️ Avoid hard or sticky foods that may loosen the crown.

    ✔️ Keep up with regular dental checkups for monitoring and preventive care.

    At Kidz Dental Home, we make sure your child’s dental experience is comfortable, stress-free, and fun! If your child has a damaged or decayed tooth, we’re here to provide the best care possible.
