Cavity Treatment at Shaenfield Pediatric Dentistry

What is a Cavity?

A cavity is a hole that forms in a tooth due to decay. Cavities are caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce acids, which eat away at the tooth enamel. If left untreated, cavities can cause pain, infection, and more serious dental issues.

Signs Your Child Might Have a Cavity

• Toothache or spontaneous pain
• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks
• Visible holes or pits in the teeth
• Staining on the surface of a tooth
• Pain when biting down

Our Cavity Treatment Services

Thorough Examination and Diagnosis

Our cavity treatment process begins with a comprehensive dental examination to assess your child’s oral health. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we can detect cavities in their early stages, even those not visible to the naked eye.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on the examination results, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child’s specific needs. Our goal is to provide effective and minimally invasive treatments to restore your child’s dental health.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

We use tooth-colored composite fillings to repair cavities, providing a natural appearance and durable solution. These fillings are matched to the color of your child’s teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetic result.

• Procedure: The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is cleaned. The tooth is then filled with a composite resin material that bonds to the tooth and hardens under a special light.

Preventive Measures

To prevent future cavities, we offer preventive measures such as dental sealants and fluoride treatments. These treatments help protect your child’s teeth from decay and strengthen enamel.

• Dental Sealants: A protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities.
• Fluoride Treatments: A fluoride varnish applied to the teeth to strengthen enamel and prevent decay.
