Paediatric Dentistry: Stainless Steel Crowns for Kid’s Teeth
What are children’s stainless steel crowns?
Are you looking for a solution for the decay in your children’s teeth ?
A kid’s crown effectively covers or “caps” a tooth, returning it to its normal size and shape while ensuring the tooth doesn’t break further & usually stays on the tooth until the tooth naturally falls out .
Stainless steel crowns for children’s teeth are incredibly strong, relatively easy to place & no anaesthetic is usually required . This makes them a great solution if your child is not cooperative enough for fillings, or if they don’t like the sound of the dental drill . They are usually easier to place than a filling so can be done in young children from the age of 3 upwards .
The biggest drawback of stainless steel crowns is their silver appearance . They are ideal for child’s back teeth and believe it or not , children are often very proud of their silver tooth or fairy cap or pirate tooth as we often call them!
