Restorations (Fillings)

Cavities are a common dental concern in children and can develop when plaque and bacteria damage the tooth enamel. Tooth-colored fillings are used to remove the damaged portion of the tooth and restore its natural shape, strength and function. These durable restorations blend seamlessly with the teeth, helping children maintain a healthy and confident smile.

Restorations (Fillings)

Pit & Fissure Sealants

Pit and fissure sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of permanent molars and premolars. These areas often contain deep grooves where food particles and bacteria can accumulate, increasing the risk of cavities. Sealants create a protective barrier that helps prevent tooth decay and supports longer oral health. This simple preventive treatment is an effective way to keep children’s teeth strong and healthy.

Topical Fluoride Application

Topical fluoride application is a preventive dental treatment that helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from decay. A fluoride varnish is gently applied to the teeth, allowing essential minerals to reinforce the enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. Regular fluoride treatments support healthy tooth development and help maintain strong, long lasting oral health in children.

Space Maintainer

When a baby tooth is lost earlier than expected due to decay or injury, the surrounding teeth may shift into the empty space. A space maintainer is a custom dental appliance designed to preserve the gap until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt. This preventive treatment helps guide proper tooth alignment, supports healthy jaw development and reduces the risk of future orthodontic issues.

Pulpotomy

A pulpotomy is a pediatric dental procedure used when tooth decay or infection reaches the inner pulp of a baby tooth. The infected portion of the pulp is carefully removed while preserving the healthy remaining structure of the tooth. This treatment helps relieve pain, prevent the spread of infection and maintain the baby tooth until it is naturally replaced by a permanent tooth.
