This restorative treatment option can be just as typical for kids as it is for adults! With an estimated 20 percent of children between five and 11 years old having at least one untreated decayed tooth (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), dental crowns for kids are not uncommon. Read on to learn more about pediatric dental crowns and what your child may experience during and after the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Do Kids Need Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child\u2019s pediatric dentist in Leesburg may recommend a dental crown after an examination, but do not worry! They will explain their findings to you as well as any other treatment options to help restore your child\u2019s oral health. Some of the cases in which a dental crown may be recommended include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If a large cavity requires an equally large filling and the treated tooth needs additional support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a tooth has been severely damaged, such as fractured or cracked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To make a discolored or misshapen tooth appear more uniform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a tooth has been weakened due to damage or decay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If a dental crown is the best recommended treatment option for your child, you can choose between a zirconia or stainless steel crown for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens During a Pediatric Dental Crown Procedure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step of placing a dental crown is to ensure your child\u2019s comfort. Pediatric dentists take extra care to make the treatment process as gentle, simple, and fear-free as possible. Next, the tooth is shaped to create enough space in your child\u2019s mouth to seat the dental crown on the tooth. Pediatric dentists utilize prefabricated dental crowns that are specifically sized for baby teeth to make the process as quick as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once fits well, it will be permanently cemented onto the tooth. Unlike with adult crowns, this process can be done in a single visit, and if necessary, with dental sedation to ensure your child has a comfortable experience. Additionally, once your child loses their tooth, the crown will come out with it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will Your Child Feel When Getting a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured, your child\u2019s pediatric dentist will be extra gentle and make sure your child remains comfortable throughout their entire procedure. As a specialist, pediatric dentists spend extra time, attention, and care to create positive experiences for kids, setting them up for easy, breezy future visits! After their procedure, your child may feel a little sore, but this is typical and should subside after a few days. If you have any concerns after their treatment, do not hesitate to reach out to their dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the thought of your child needing to undergo dental treatment may make you feel concerned, with a Board-Certified pediatric dentist\u2019s extensive training and expertise, you can lay your worries to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Vani Takiar, better known as \u201cAgent T\u201d to her patients, has several years of experience and is a Board-Certified pediatric dentist.
