The Benefits Of Pediatric Cavity Fillings
Prevents Further Tooth Decay
Pediatric cavity fillings stop the progression of tooth decay. By filling the cavity, we eliminate the decayed part of the tooth, preventing it from spreading further. This not only saves the affected tooth but also helps protect adjacent teeth from potential decay.
Restores Tooth Function
A decayed tooth can cause discomfort and affect your child's ability to chew properly. A cavity filling restores the tooth's shape and function, allowing your child to eat comfortably and maintain proper nutrition.
Enhances Oral Health
Regular dental check-ups and timely cavity fillings are vital components of your child's oral health routine. By addressing cavities early, we can help maintain your child's overall oral health, prevent gum disease, and ensure healthy development of their permanent teeth.
The Pediatric Cavity Filling Treatment Process
Examination and Diagnosis
The first step involves a thorough examination of your child's teeth. Dr. Garber uses advanced dental equipment to identify any signs of decay. If a cavity is detected, she will recommend a filling.
Tooth Preparation
Once a cavity is confirmed, the next step is to prepare the tooth for the filling. Dr. Garber will carefully remove the decayed part of the tooth, ensuring all traces of decay are eliminated. This step is performed with utmost precision to preserve as much of the healthy tooth as possible.
Filling the Cavity
The final step is to fill the cavity. Dr. Garber uses a safe, tooth-colored filling material that blends seamlessly with your child's natural tooth. The filling is carefully shaped and polished to match the rest of the tooth, ensuring a natural look and feel.
