Dr. Krista Farr, Dr. Jessica Bains and Dr. Eric Mack may recommend pediatric dental fillings to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, minor fractures or chipping. Our dentists and team are committed to providing gentle, professional care that helps maintain the health and beauty of your child’s smile, and fillings are often a good option for helping your child regain their oral health and smile in the most minimally invasive way possible.
Understanding Pediatric Dental Fillings
A dental filling is a restorative procedure that repairs a tooth that has been affected by decay or minor damage. When your child has a cavity or experiences a small chip, the tooth may be weakened and prone to further damage. The filling acts as a protective barrier that prevents bacteria from entering the tooth and causing additional decay. In addition, the restoration helps return the tooth to its normal shape and function. We explain every step of the process to both you and your child so that you feel confident and comfortable with the treatment.
Types of Fillings
There are two primary types of fillings used – composite, or tooth-colored, fillings and amalgam, or silver, fillings. At our office, we use only tooth-colored materials in order to give your child the most natural and aesthetic final result possible as well as promote their overall health and wellbeing.
The Filling Procedure
The procedure for placing a pediatric dental filling is designed to be efficient and comfortable. At your child’s appointment, our dentists will begin by administering local anesthesia or another type of child-safe sedation to ensure that your child does not experience discomfort. The next step involves removing any decayed or damaged material from the affected tooth. We take great care to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. After thorough cleaning of the cavity to eliminate bacteria, the filling material is applied and carefully molded to match the natural contours of the tooth. A special light is used to harden the material quickly, ensuring that the restoration is strong and durable. The entire process is usually completed in one visit.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Following the procedure, proper aftercare is essential for ensuring the longevity of the filling and the overall oral health of your child. We advise you to help your child maintain a consistent oral hygiene routine that includes brushing, flossing and regular dental checkups. These measures will not only protect the restoration but also prevent further decay and damage.
