Composite (Tooth-colored) Fillings
Composite tooth-colored fillings are a natural-looking solution used to repair cavities, blending seamlessly with your child’s smile while restoring strength and function.
Space Maintainer
If a child loses a baby tooth earlier than expected or their adult tooth is late in erupting, they may benefit from space maintainers to hold the place for the incoming tooth or teeth.
Pulpotomies
Inside every tooth is a soft area called the “pulp,” which contains nerves and blood supply.
When a cavity gets too deep, it can irritate or infect this area.
A pulpotomy gently removes the affected part of the pulp from the top of the tooth while keeping the healthy part in the roots.
Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC)
- Protect a tooth after a pulpotomy
- Restore a tooth with large cavities
- Prevent further breakage
- Keep the tooth strong until it naturally falls out
FAQS
Why might my child need a crown on a baby tooth?
Baby teeth play an important role in your child’s overall oral health. If a tooth is severely damaged or has significant decay, a crown can help protect it and keep it functioning properly until the adult tooth is ready to come in.
Are composite dental fillings safe?
Yes, composite dental fillings are safe and made from durable materials that are designed to blend naturally with your child’s tooth.
What happens during a pulpotomy?
A pulpotomy is a procedure used to treat a tooth that has been affected by deep decay or damage. It involves removing the infected portion of the nerve and sealing the remaining healthy part of the tooth to preserve it.
Why is a space maintainer so important?
A space maintainer helps hold the proper space for an adult tooth when a baby tooth is lost too early, preventing surrounding teeth from shifting and supporting proper alignment.
