The importance of baby teeth for the development of permanent teeth?

Do parents know? Baby teeth not only help children chew and pronounce words, but also hold space for permanent teeth to grow in the right position. When baby teeth are severely decayed, broken, or have pulpitis, if not treated promptly, it will lead to:

  • Maxillofacial development disorders: Early tooth loss causes other teeth to shift, easily causing overbite, underbite, and crowding.
  • Difficulty chewing – affects digestion: Children will have difficulty chewing, affecting nutrient absorption.
  • Psychological effects: Children are easily self-conscious and afraid to smile because of decayed or broken teeth.
  • Causing infection: Severe tooth decay can spread to the gums, causing abscesses and severe inflammation.

Therefore, protecting baby teeth – especially molars – is an important stepping stone for your baby’s comprehensive development. And SSC crowns are the optimal solution recommended by doctors.

What is an SSC crown and why is it suitable for baby teeth?

SSC crowns (Stainless Steel Crowns) are pre-made crowns made from stainless steel in many different sizes, used to cover all damaged baby teeth.

When is an SSC crown needed?

  • Baby teeth with large cavities that cannot be filled usually.
  • Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment.
  • Baby teeth are broken and have lost a lot of substance.
  • Teeth are worn due to grinding or trauma

Why do baby teeth need to be protected with SSC crowns?

Baby teeth play a very important role in:

  • Helping children chew and pronounce clearly
  • Guiding permanent teeth to grow in the right position
  • Preserve jaw and facial development

If baby teeth are severely decayed or broken and not treated promptly:

  • Can cause infection, abscess, prolonged pain
  • Losing space for permanent teeth, leading to crooked and crowded teeth

Affecting the aesthetics and psychology of young children

Advantages of SSC crowns for baby teeth

  • High durability:Stainless steel is strong, protecting teeth from impact when chewing.
  • Effective antibacterial:Smooth surface, limiting bacterial re-invasion.
  • Standardized design: Available in many sizes, easy to install, fits baby teeth.
  • Acceptable aesthetics: Although it is a metal crown, it is usually only used on molars, so it does not affect the aesthetics of the smile.
  • Long life:Can be used stably for many years until baby teeth are naturally replaced.

SSC crown procedure at Lux Smile

The specific steps for making dental implants are as follows:

Examination and consultation:

  • A pediatric dentist assesses the extent of tooth damage.

Pre-scan treatment:

  • Deep cleaning of the tooth,.
  • Lightly grind the 2 sides of the tooth to place the SSC crown.

Select and attach the crown:

  • The doctor selects an SSC crown of suitable size.
  • Temporarily attach to check the bite, then attach fixed.

Home care instructions:

  • Instruct parents and children on proper hygiene and diet.

Absolutely not. The entire procedure is gentle, quick, and can be performed under local anesthesia if necessary. Children often cooperate well when receiving treatment in a friendly environment at Lux Smile.

  • Instruct children to brush their teeth twice a day with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
  • Re-examine every 6 months to monitor the SSC crown
  • Limit foods that are too hard or too sticky that can affect the crown

No. SSC crowns only cover the baby tooth temporarily and do not interfere with the permanent tooth germ underneath. When it comes to tooth replacement age, crowns and baby teeth will naturally fall out.
