Q: What is a pediatric dental crown?
A: A pediatric dental crown, also known as a pedo crown, is a specialized dental restoration designed for children with primary (baby) or permanent molars that have suffered decay, damage, or fractures. These crowns are custom-fitted caps that cover the entire tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and function. Pediatric dental crowns are crucial in preserving the integrity of primary teeth, ensuring proper dental development, and preventing premature tooth loss in young patients. They are available in various materials, such as stainless steel, polycarbonate, and transparent strip, to suit different clinical needs and preferences.

Q: Are pediatric crown necessary?
A: Yes, pediatric crowns are necessary in certain situations. They play a crucial role in preserving primary teeth that have been extensively decayed, damaged, or fractured. Primary teeth are essential for proper chewing, speech development, and guiding the eruption of permanent teeth. By placing pediatric crowns, dentists can protect and maintain the function of these primary teeth until they naturally fall out, preventing early tooth loss and potential orthodontic problems. Pediatric crowns are a valuable treatment option to ensure the overall oral health and well-being of children.

Q: Are crowns better than filling for kids?
A: The choice between a crown and a filling for kids depends on the extent of tooth damage and the tooth's location. In some cases, a filling may be sufficient to restore a small cavity or minor damage. However, if the tooth has extensive decay or structural damage, a crown may be a better option for providing sufficient protection and strength.

Crowns are typically recommended for:

• Severe tooth decay that cannot be adequately restored with a filling.
• Fractured or cracked teeth.
• Teeth with large cavities or those that have undergone significant dental procedures like pulpotomy (partial removal of pulp) or pulpectomy (complete removal of pulp).
• Primary molars that need to be preserved until the permanent teeth erupt

Q: How long do crowns last on kids?
A: The average lifespan of dental crowns for kids varies between 5 to 15 years or more, depending on the type of crown used, the child's oral hygiene, diet, and dental care. Factors like growth and wear may require replacements over time. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor the condition of the crowns and determine when adjustments or replacements are needed.

Q: What types of crowns are done on primary teeth?
A: On primary teeth, stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are commonly used. Stainless steel crowns are pre-fabricated crowns made of stainless steel material. They are durable, cost-effective, and can be easily adapted to fit the primary tooth's shape and size. These crowns are often used for molars and sometimes for anterior teeth when extensive restoration is needed.

Q: Are crowns painful for kids?
A: The process of placing dental crowns on kids is typically not painful because it is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area and prevents discomfort during the procedure. However, after the anesthesia wears off, there might be some mild soreness or sensitivity in the treated area, which should subside within a few days.

Q: What types of pediatric crowns are available in the Dentalkart Pedo Crown category?
A: Dentalkart offers a wide range of pediatric crowns, including stainless steel primary crowns, stainless steel primary molars, stainless steel permanent molars, polycarbonate crowns, and transparent strip crowns.

Q: How do I choose the right pediatric crown for my patient?
A: The choice of pediatric crown depends on various factors such as the tooth's position, size, and condition. Stainless steel crowns are ideal for posterior teeth, while polycarbonate crowns are suitable for anterior teeth. Transparent strip crowns are useful for esthetic concerns.
