Dental Crowns For Children: What To Expect From Their Treatment

By Joyful Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

We provide excellent restorative dentistry treatment, including stainless steel dental crowns, at Joyful Smiles Pediatric Dentistry Of Tinley Park. Crowns are an excellent way to repair decaying, diseased, or damaged baby teeth. They outperform fillings in terms of protection and are designed to endure until your child’s baby tooth comes out naturally and is replaced by an adult tooth.

But what can you anticipate from the procedure? What a great question! We’ll walk you through it step by step in this blog, so you and your child know precisely what to expect when you come to our Tinley Park office for a dental crown.

Our first consultation will need to undertake an oral exam to determine whether a dental crown is required. We will examine for evidence of tooth decay, damage, and other problems that can be fixed with a crown.

Depending on the circumstances, your child’s crown installation operation may be performed at a separate session or immediately following their oral exam.

  • Cleaning, Numbing And Preparing The Tooth

We will clean your child’s mouth before beginning the crown implantation operation. If any tooth material needs to be extracted, the region will be numb for your child’s comfort. Sedation is available at our clinic to ensure your kid is comfortable throughout this procedure.

We will then use a dental drill to remove badly damaged or rotten enamel from your child’s teeth in preparation for a dental crown.

  • Choosing A Pre-Fitted Stainless Steel Crown

After the tooth has been prepared, we will select a pre-fitted stainless steel crown that will completely cover the tooth and fit perfectly next to the neighboring teeth. We provide a wide range of crowns that are suitable for each tooth and any scenario, guaranteeing the best possible outcomes.

  • Placing Your Child’s Crown

We will fill the crown with dental cement and put it over your child’s teeth once it has been selected. The crown must be left in place for a few minutes as the cement “cures” and solidifies. This firmly attaches the crown to the tooth, and it will stay in place until your child’s baby tooth falls out naturally.

  • Final Cleanup 

We will clean up the treatment area after the crown has been placed by removing any extra dental cement and other debris that may have been collected during the treatment procedure.

Then your child will be finished. You and your child will be sent home. They can have a meal straight away, but they should only consume soft foods for the next 24 hours to ensure the crown fully sets. They can then resume their usual diet.
