Stainless steel crowns are tooth-shaped caps that fit over your child’s teeth. They are used to preserve baby teeth that have become damaged or decayed or which have received a treatment such as a root canal. While primary teeth are eventually replaced by permanent teeth, it is important that they be preserved and not lost or extracted prematurely. Loosing baby teeth too early can cause complications with the permanent teeth, making protecting them with stainless steel crowns until the baby teeth fall out naturally the better option.
Stainless steel crowns are recommended when children have extensive tooth decay or have received a baby tooth root canal. In these cases, more conservative treatments like fillings are unlikely to restore your child’s oral health. A stainless steel crown will restore and protect the tooth so that your child can regain a healthy mouth and smile.
Baby teeth, also known as primary or “milk” teeth, are more susceptible to decay because they have a thinner and softer enamel layer than permanent teeth. Additionally, the nerve layer in baby teeth is close to the surface of the tooth, and infections also occur more easily in these teeth.
