Your child has recovered a teeth with a child’s crown. What is important?

  • 1
    Feeling of “fullness”. The reason is the addiction of the surrounding tissues. This sensation goes away after a few hours.
  • 2
    Slight soreness and bleeding of the gums near the crown when brushing teeth, eating solid food for several days after treatment.
  • 3
    Discoloration of the gums in the area of ​​crown fixation in the first days after treatment.
  • 4
    Perhaps on the gum next to the crown, you will notice a white-gray film – this is a fibrin film. You don’t need to touch it, try to remove it. So the gum is restored. This is a physiological process, like a “crust” on the skin after a scratch.

Our recommendations:

  • 1
    Thorough oral hygiene twice a day (in the morning after breakfast and in the evening before bed). In the first days after treatment, help your child to thoroughly and gently brush the teeth in the area of ​​the crowns, if your child is brushing their teeth on their own. If the child is small, the parents clean the entire mouth. If soft plaque accumulates on the crown (1 day or more), it can lead to gum inflammation. If this happens, see your doctor to correct the inflammation.
  • 2
    Avoid harsh, acidic foods. Eliminate hot drinks and food, fresh juices for 3-5 days.
  • 3
    Give your child a mouthwash after a meal with antiseptics (as directed).
  • 4
    After eating and after brushing your teeth, before going to bed, treat the mucous membrane of the gums near the crown with dental adhesive paste “Solcoseryl” or “Dentagel” (as prescribed by a doctor).
  • 5
    If a child has pain in the first days after treatment, an anesthetic drug.

What is important to do in order for the crown to last a long time:

  • 1
    Practice good oral hygiene. The child should brush his teeth twice a day (in the morning after breakfast and in the evening before bedtime) on his own, if he does it correctly, or with the help of a parent.
  • 2
    If your child has crowns on their front teeth, injuries and falls should be avoided.
  • 3
    Do not allow your child to gnaw nuts, crackers, toys with their front teeth. Do not open packages with your teeth, gnaw on threads and other foreign objects. This is bad not only for crowns, but also for healthy teeth. Make sure your child does not chew on stationery. The crown may not withstand such a load and break off.
  • 4
    Avoid eating carbohydrates that are in your mouth for a long time or stick to your teeth (corn sticks, sugary juices, lollipops). If your baby is breastfeeding, stop night feeds, or be sure to brush your baby’s teeth after feeding.
  • 5
    If the child began to grind his teeth in this dream. This can cause the crown to chip, crack, or fall out.
  • 6
    If you experience pain or discomfort in the area of ​​the crowned teeth, contact your doctor for advice and an appointment.
  • 7
    If the crown falls out, you should immediately consult a doctor to re-fix it.
  • 8
    Regular professional oral hygiene at the dentist every 3 months (mandatory).
