Would a 7yr old child be fitted with a dental crown?

Is this for a first or second tooth? I've never heard of such a young child having one.





My son came off his bike when he was 9 and broke off about a quarter of one of his two front teeth. The dentist made a temporary repair with a white resin type stuff. She said it may last until he was an adult and his teeth had stopped growing. He's 27 and still has the same repair and you can't even see the join.

Would a 7yr old child be fitted with a dental crown?
"Dental crown" is a broad and general term. Your dentist may be recommending something temporary until your child is an adult. This would include stainless steel crowns, and the composite resin types (tooth colored) part 1 Report It

Reply:A Gold or porcelain fused to metal crown is not recommended for younger child since they are still growing, but is best for adults, as these can last a lifetime {if done properly}---find a good dentist. (part 2) Report It

Reply:If the child has their adult teeth they can be.
Reply:They were out of tiaras?

Reply:Yes..........!!!!!!!!! It is with his parents risks
Reply:They could be, depends on the problem with the childs mouth.
Reply:no
Reply:It would have to be fitted with temp bond, or cut off later and replaced as she grows. The root canal work will be the problem. It is better to leave it or cap it temporarily. Best speak to a dentist on the net. Tony in remotest Isan.
Reply:the only thing a seven year old would have is not a crown but an aliminium cap that covers the decidous tooth, probably because it has become decayed and has died and has had to have a vital pulpectomy, if your dentist is suggesting that you have a lab made corwn then go elsewhere, the child will be losing the teeth anyway but not for some years which is why this treatment is a good idea, baby teeth are not meant to be lost as they act as space maintainers for the adult teeth and perhaps you should not be giving your child so many sweets cos in the end no child should have to be having anything done
Reply:If a baby molar has severe decay a silver color stainless steel crown could be placed to restore the tooth until it comes out. There are also white crowns made for front and back baby teeth with severe decay or trauma. Also, there is a procedure commonly called a strip crown which is not really a crown, but a white filling which completely covers a front tooth. Usually a 7 yr old would not have a porcelain crown placed on an adult tooth because the adult teeth will continue to erupt into the mouth and the margin or end of the crown would not be in the proper place as the tooth erupts.
