Dental Fillings at Shaenfield Pediatric Dentistry

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are materials used to fill cavities or repair minor tooth damage. They restore the tooth’s structure and function while preventing further decay. We use tooth-colored composite fillings to match the natural appearance of your child’s teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetic result.

Signs Your Child May Need a Dental Filling

• Visible holes or pits in the teeth
• Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks
• Toothache or pain when chewing
• Dark spots or discoloration on the tooth surface

Our Dental Filling Services

Comprehensive Examination

Our cavity treatment process begins with a thorough dental examination to identify any signs of decay or damage. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we can detect cavities early and plan the best course of action.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on the examination, 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 Composite Fillings

We use tooth-colored composite fillings to repair cavities and minor tooth damage. These fillings are matched to the color of your child's teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

• Procedure: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is cleaned. The composite resin is then applied, shaped, and hardened using a special light. The filling is polished to match the tooth’s natural appearance.

Preventive Measures

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