ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Crown

A crown is like a big hat for your tooth. Sometimes teeth get hurt or damaged and they need extra protection. The dentist will make a special cap that fits perfectly over your tooth, like a hat that fits your head. The crown is usually made out of strong materials like metal, porcelain or a combination of both. It covers the whole tooth and helps keep it from getting more damaged. It's like a superhero cape for your tooth!
