Crowns

Dental crowns, also called dental caps, are commonly used to save teeth that are at risk of losing them. It is common for a child to receive a filling when he or she has a cavity. By filling the cavity, the tooth can once again function normally. An untreated cavity will only get worse if it is not treated in a timely manner. Once a tooth is damaged beyond a certain point, fillings may no longer be an option for treating it. A dental crown at Solomon Kids might be the best option for your child if he or she has a large cavity or a cracked tooth. An existing tooth can be covered with a dental crown to restore its strength and functionality.

An alternative to extracting the tooth from a child’s mouth, which can result in problems with their permanent teeth, is to treat it with a kids’ dental crown. There are two options for dental crowns for children today, silver crowns and white crowns. In spite of the fact that white crowns are less noticeable, silver crowns are often recommended for their durability and long-lasting quality.
