Common questions
What parents ask about crowns
When might a child need a dental crown?
A crown may be recommended when decay, fracture, or prior treatment leaves a tooth too weak for a filling alone.
Do crowns help save baby teeth?
Yes. When appropriate, a pediatric crown can protect a baby tooth so it can keep chewing function and hold space until it is ready to fall out.
