Pediatric Dentistry

All of our fillings are done in composite resins to match the color of the natural tooth. The dentist will clean the cavity area, apply a bonding agent, and then fill it with the white composite resin. The filling is hardened using a special light and shaped to match the tooth’s natural form.In short, white fillings are a good choice for baby teeth, offering both cosmetic and functional benefits while being safe and effective for kids.

White anterior crowns on baby teeth are tooth-colored crowns specifically designed to cover and protect the front (anterior) teeth of children that have extensive decay or damage. These crowns are made from composite resin and help with aesthetics and to give a more natural appearance.

A stainless steel crown (SSC) is a common dental treatment used for baby (primary) teeth that are severely decayed or damaged. These crowns are made of durable stainless steel and are typically used to cover and protect the entire tooth, providing protection until the baby teeth fall out

A dental pulpotomy is a procedure in which the infected or damaged part of the pulp (the soft tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels) is removed. This is typically done in primary (baby) teeth when the pulp is infected but the tooth is still healthy enough to be saved. The goal of a pulpotomy is to remove the infected tissue, disinfect the area, and then place a medicated filling to protect the tooth and help it heal.

Removal of a tooth is sometimes necessary when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or when the Orthodontist may recommend it to help with space and alignment.

A space maintainer is a dental device used to preserve the space left by a prematurely lost baby (primary) tooth until the permanent tooth is ready to come in. It’s typically used in children when a primary tooth is lost too early due to decay, trauma, or other reasons. The purpose of the space maintainer is to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space, which could lead to alignment issues or crowding when the permanent tooth eventually erupts.
