If your pediatric dentist just informed your child that they need a dental crown<\/a>, either because they have an overly damaged tooth or need to have a root canal, it\u2019s natural to have questions. Your little one might be worried about their upcoming procedure, and understanding more about what to anticipate can help you set up appropriate expectations to alleviate their anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many patients want to know if getting a dental crown hurts. Continue reading to learn more about this so you and your child can enjoy some peace of mind before their appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Is a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dental crown is a prosthetic placed over a damaged tooth to shield it from additional damage. At the same time, it preserves the tooth’s remaining structure so that it can be used functionally to speak and chew. This allows your pediatric dentist to preserve your kid\u2019s natural teeth in circumstances that might otherwise require extraction and replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does It Hurt to Get a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for children to fear dental appointments, especially if there\u2019s a major procedure involved. Giving your little one a realistic idea of what to expect can calm their nerves and help them feel relaxed throughout their visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process can take a couple of appointments to complete from start to finish. Before getting started, your child\u2019s dentist will apply an anesthetic to ensure that they are comfortable the entire time. If your kid has a hard time sitting still or has a phobia, then they might also administer a sedative to be able to complete the procedure. Then, they\u2019ll make digital impressions of their teeth to send to a laboratory that will create their restoration. They\u2019ll also remove a thin layer of enamel to ensure their dental crown fits correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, they\u2019ll fit your child with a temporary cap to wear in the meantime, until the permanent one is delivered. Once it arrives, they\u2019ll arrange a second appointment to bond it in place. This visit often doesn\u2019t require an anesthetic, but if your child is scared, their dentist may offer an appropriate sedative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Dental Crown Recovery Hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can expect your kid to have some mild sensitivity in the affected tooth and surrounding gum tissue, but it typically fades relatively quickly. However, if they\u2019re showing signs or letting you know they\u2019re feeling pain that lasts more than a week, contact your pediatric dentist. They may need to ensure the dental crown is fitting properly so your little one can recover as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your provider knows that many children are scared of major procedures and will work with you to help your child feel as calm and relaxed as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
