Tooth-colored Fillings
Dental fillings are a preferred dental procedure for treating areas of decay on a tooth (also known as cavities). Since children are more prone to decay, we take every measure to educate them on how to prevent cavities through diligent oral hygiene, a proper diet, and other positive dental habits. However, if tooth decay should occur, you can trust our experienced pediatric dentists to deliver a gentle approach and an excellent solution to repair it. We proudly offer tooth-colored fillings using composite resin, which provides greater safety and unrivaled aesthetics for your child’s smile.
Does My Child Have A Cavity?
If your child is experiencing toothaches, jaw pain, or tooth sensitivity, a cavity may be present. At Sweetpea Smiles, we can diagnose cavities during an oral exam or by using our advanced digital imaging. Cavities are common in the pits and grooves of the teeth, or areas that are more difficult for your child to clean.
Rest assured that a dental filling can effectively repair a decayed or damaged tooth before the overall health of the tooth is compromised. It is a simple and quick procedure that can be performed without discomfort to your child. In addition, our dental team offers sedation dentistry to help your child fully relax while getting a dental filling.
Natural and Tooth-colored Fillings
At Sweetpea Smiles, we never overlook your cosmetic concerns for your child. Whether you have a toddler or a teenager, we are pleased to offer composite, tooth-colored fillings to repair their smile. Tooth-colored fillings are a welcome alternative to traditional silver fillings that are quite noticeable and contain mercury. With composite resin material, your child’s dental filling will naturally blend with their teeth to provide a mercury-free and highly durable solution in cavity repair.
