Have you ever noticed a "silver tooth" shining in a child's smile? This isn't just a filling; it's a metal crown (SSC), the ideal solution for protecting baby teeth from severe decay or after root canal treatment. Why does the dentist choose this option? Comprehensive protection: It completely covers the tooth and prevents bacteria from reaching it. Superior durability: It withstands the high chewing force of children until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt. Proper alignment: It maintains the necessary spacing for the permanent teeth to erupt in their correct positions.

Teething may be accompanied by increased salivation, a desire to bite, or slight swelling of the gums. To relieve pain: You can use chilled teething rings, gently massage the gums with a clean finger, or offer cold foods if your child has started eating solids. Care: It is recommended to start cleaning teeth as soon as they erupt using a soft-bristled toothbrush designed for infants. Please consult your pediatrician or pediatric dentist for an accurate diagnosis or if you experience a fever or severe pain.

⚠️ Important Note: Yellow teeth may be caused by enamel erosion or genetic factors, and are not always due to poor hygiene.
