Why Should I Get Pediatric Stainless Steel Crowns?
When a child's tooth is severely damaged, it becomes susceptible to further decay and infection, which can lead to more serious dental issues in the future. Pediatric stainless steel crowns act as a protective shield, covering the entire tooth and preventing further damage. They are also a great solution for children who have difficulty maintaining proper oral hygiene, as the crowns are easy to clean and resistant to decay. Moreover, these crowns can withstand the chewing forces, ensuring your child can eat and speak comfortably.
The Benefits Of Pediatric Stainless Steel Crowns
Durability
Pediatric stainless steel crowns are incredibly durable. They are designed to withstand the wear and tear of a child's daily activities, including chewing and grinding. This means the crowns can last until the baby tooth naturally falls out, making them a long-term solution for protecting your child's oral health.
Cost-Effective
Compared to other restorative dental treatments, pediatric stainless steel crowns are a more cost-effective solution. They typically require fewer dental visits for adjustments or replacements, saving you time and money in the long run. Plus, they provide excellent protection against further tooth decay, potentially saving you from more expensive treatments in the future.
Comfort
Pediatric stainless steel crowns are custom-fitted to your child's tooth, ensuring a comfortable fit. They are designed to mimic the shape and size of the natural tooth, allowing your child to eat, speak, and smile with ease.

The Pediatric Stainless Steel Crown Treatment Process
Examination and Preparation
The first step in the treatment process involves a thorough examination of your child's oral health. Dr. Amy Huh will assess the damaged tooth and determine if a stainless steel crown is the best treatment option. If so, she will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and reshaping it to fit the crown.
Crown Fitting
Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Huh will select a preformed stainless steel crown that best fits your child's tooth. She will then place the crown over the tooth, making sure it fits correctly and comfortably.
Crown Placement
The final step involves securing the stainless steel crown onto the tooth using dental cement. Dr. Huh will ensure the crown is properly aligned with the surrounding teeth for optimal functionality and aesthetics.
