Early tooth loss in children: potential consequences Primary teeth are crucial for a child's health and development. They help with chewing, speaking, and smiling. Early tooth loss can lead to the following complications:
Orthodontic issues: Primary teeth serve as space maintainers for permanent teeth. When a primary tooth is lost prematurely, permanent teeth may drift into the empty space. The permanent tooth, deprived of its "proper" position, erupts wherever possible. Result: dental crowding, malocclusion, eruption of permanent teeth outside the dental arch.
Nutritional problems: Tooth loss can alter tongue positioning - it moves forward, causing food displacement. This may lead to frequent choking. Parents often resort to soft foods, offering purées or very small pieces. This should be avoided - solid foods are necessary for proper jaw development.
Speech development issues: Children undergo intensive speech development between ages 3-5. Tooth loss during this period can result in: interdental pronunciation of sibilant sounds. Later problems may arise with sounds not yet established at ages 3-5 - for example, the "R" sound.
Crown Fabrication and Placement Our clinic's clinic Corona Dental clinic in Barcelona specialists place both prefabricated and custom crowns.
Prefabricated nickel-chromium alloy crowns: These are ready-made crowns requiring tooth preparation and cementation. Since these crowns are less aesthetic, we place them on posterior teeth - outside the smile line.
Prefabricated metal crowns with composite facing are available for anterior teeth.
Custom aesthetic crowns are fabricated in our digital laboratory from impressions. Crown material is selected individually based on clinical requirements. The crown will be durable, aesthetic, and perfectly fitted.
