Strip Crowns for Children? The Dentist Knows

Your average consumer has a tendency to assume that only adults need crowns, but dentists know better.

In certain circumstances, a child may experience severe tooth trauma. A strip crown may be required to maintain the integrity of the tooth. And when you make your recommendation, you may get pushback from a parent…something akin to “Isn’t the tooth going to fall out anyway?”

It is important for you as a dentist to make clear that even primary teeth need to be protected for as long as possible. A damaged tooth could cause structural problems, make chewing difficult, and impede speech. These factors could have long-ranging effects in the child’s life.

A strip crown is a small price to pay to ensure that a child’s dentition matures normally. When explained in these or similar terms, the recommendation will, in all probability, pass the pushback test.
