When a baby tooth has a large cavity or extensive decay, a regular filling sometimes isn’t strong enough to hold up until the tooth naturally falls out on its own. Parents are often surprised to learn that baby teeth can even need a crown, but protecting them matters more than it might seem.
At Purple Tooth Dental, we place both stainless steel and tooth-colored zirconia crowns on baby teeth to restore their strength and function until the permanent tooth is ready to come in. We’ll walk you through which option fits your child’s tooth and your family’s preferences.
Dr. Jon Kaczmarski, DMD completed a pediatric dental residency with training in restorative care for children, and he and our team also speak Spanish for families throughout Mount Holly.
Contact our office today to schedule a pediatric crown consultation and protect your child’s tooth for the long run.
