What is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a false tooth that is designed to completely cover up and protect your child’s remaining tooth structure. The crown is fit to perfectly cover the remaining tooth structure. This restores its appearance and natural shape, and also protects it from any further damage.
Stainless steel crowns are commonly used in pediatric dentistry to cover up baby teeth until they fall out naturally. For permanent adult teeth, crowns are usually made of porcelain, which looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
Why would my child need a Dental Crown?
Dental crowns are usually required for serious dental injuries, to restore teeth that have deep cavities, or have been infected and require a root canal or pulpotomy. Because they replace and cover up your child’s tooth, they are the best way to restore their smile and prevent further complications.


Caring for my child’s Crown?
Dental crowns are designed to be just as durable and natural as your child’s teeth. That means there are no special precautions that you’ll need to take to care for your child’s dental crown.
Simply make sure they are brushing for at least two minutes twice per day, flossing once per day, and stay away from eating stick sugary candy. You should also bring your little one into Miles of Little Smiles every six months to see our White Plains dentist for a teeth cleaning and checkup to ensure their smile is healthy and strong.
