In most cases, dental crowns are required when kids have large cavities or are pre-cooperative for invasive treatment and can benefit from a minimally invasive option such as a Hall Crown.

Cavities are caused by bacteria in a child’s mouth that consume the sugars and starches we eat to produce acid. Over time, this acid eats away at the outer layer of your child’s tooth, causing tooth decay or a “cavity.” Small cavities can usually be treated with a dental filling, or a crown. However, it’s usually better to treat extensive decay with a dental crown. 

Crowns aren’t just used to treat decayed teeth, either. They can also be used to repair damaged teeth. If your child slips and falls, has an accident while playing, or takes a hard hit while playing a contact sport, this can break or crack their tooth. Crowns are usually the best way to restore and protect teeth damaged by oral trauma.
