Repairing Your Child’s Teeth With A Dental Crown
If your child has a tooth in need of repair, such as a crack or chip, then we can help. A dental crown caps the tooth and protects smiles from cavities and infections. In today’s blog, Pediatric Dental Care at Casa Linda talks about repairing children’s teeth with a dental crown in Dallas, TX.
When Your Child’s Teeth Need Repair
When should you contact our team for dental repair? If your child injures a tooth and it becomes chipped or cracked, then care is needed to avoid the onset of decay or infection. If they complain about pain in a tooth, this could indicate the potential presence of a cavity, and again restorative treatment is needed to avoid infection and the risk of losing the tooth. We can repair your child’s teeth with a dental crown, returning little smiles to full function and health once again.
Placing Dental Restorations
Our team will examine your child’s tooth with digital imaging to see if a crown is right, and if so, we will numb the tooth and gently remove structure to accommodate the restoration. For the side and rear teeth, we may suggest a restoration made from stainless steel, as these teeth endure greater bite forces and pressures. For the more front-facing and visible teeth, we could offer a more natural-looking NuSmile zirconia crown. We attach the restoration with a powerful bonding agent, one that can keep the new restoration secure for years to come.
Keeping Your Little One’s Smile Strong
Following placement, we will discuss ways to better protect little smiles from tooth decay and injury. To fight decay, be sure your kids brush and floss daily at home, and limit the amount of sugar in their diets. If they play sports, make sure they wear a mouthguard to limit the risk of a chipped or cracked tooth following injury. We want to also see your kids every six months for a dental checkup and cleaning, so we can keep a close eye on their smiles for the earliest signs of trouble, and remove the plaque and tartar buildup that could cause issues like tooth decay.
