Answers:
Yes they can be capped. However you may want to try something more conservative like bonding. You also may need to see if the roots were damaged.Health Question & Answer

Yes, children can have their teeth capped. Usually they are numbed up with novocaine, and the natural tooth is sanded down so that a cap can fit on top of it correctly. An impression is done of the tooth to determine what size, etc. the cap needs to be, and then a temporary cap is placed on, while the exact, permanent cap is made. Once it is made, the child returns to the dentist, and the new, permanent cap is placed on.:)Health Question & Answer

You should not cap a child's tooth, because there is still so much growing to do. Usually bonding is enoughHealth Question & Answer
