Is this post for real? I’ll bite. Your kid will look like a convict with two rows of silver teeth. Dont cheap out. Buy the white teeth. Unless you want your kid getting bullied every single day of her life. I mean how old is your child? If he or she is below age 4 get silver. If these are their permanent teeth get white

My step daughters both have silver caps on baby teeth, they are not even faised by them one is 12 and they are almost all fallen out and the other is 8. Miss 12 has had them since she was 8 and miss 8 has had them since she was 5.
As a kid I broke half my front tooth. The dentist matched it (yellow) to my current tooth (I was 8/9) as I grew older my teeth got whiter and I had this huge half yellow front tooth. I fixed it in my late 20s and it’s never been right. When I see people I haven’t seen since high school they still say they remember that yellow tooth I had. My parents didn’t think much of it but it truly traumatized me.
Also idk wtf my dentist did but it colored my gums black above that tooth. I NEVER SMILE
Tracy Greenroyd Radcliff I told your father not to get the silver on your front teeth. !
My daughter had 8 caps put on her teeth when she was 5. Didn’t bother her a bit. She was just happy to be able to eat things without discomfort.
If you can afford it. Do the white
As a long time dental technician/ceramist, I would not put silver on the lower teeth. They are way to visible.
Filling crowns are only good for so long
go with white fillings
Why as a mom, did you not make sure she was brushing her teeth so this wouldn’t be a problem?

Baby teeth? Skip it.
Adult teeth? Go white fillings. The silver contract and expand and crack your teeth over time.
