A crown, or cap, is placed on a baby tooth or adult tooth when the carious lesion is too big for a filling.
Crowns protect teeth that are weakened by dental caries, trauma, or root canal treatment.
We use of white crowns for the anterior teeth and stainless-steel crowns for the posterior teeth for added strength but may consider the use of white crowns on posterior teeth by request.
We will work together with you to decide on the best option for your child.

Each tooth has a pulp inside that contains important nerves.
In case the pulp is affected, due to caries, trauma or other reasons, the pulp therapy is a necessary procedure to save the tooth.
The most common form of pulp therapy in your child's teeth is the pulpotomy therapy.
Pulpotomy removes the infected part of the pulp, and then a sedative medication is applied to protect the remaining healthy pulp tissue.
This procedure is followed usually by a stainless-steel crown as a final restoration to protect the whole tooth.

Oral check-ups are important in maintaining and enhancing the oral health of your child.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends an oral evaluation to your child at least two times a year.
Our doctor will regularly check extra-orally the face and neck, and intra-orally your child's teeth, bite and soft tissues for signs of decay, bite alteration, damage or pathology.

Dental x-rays help to see areas that are not visible during the clinical examination so we can have more information about your child's oral condition and provide a better care in relationship to those areas.
The decision of how often we should take x-rays depends on your child's risk of having dental caries and in other specific cases that will be explained by our pediatric dental specialist at the appropriate time.
