If your child develops a cavity, we’ll guide you through the best treatment options to restore their tooth and keep their smile healthy. Our focus is always on gentle, effective care tailored to your child’s needs.
Fillings:
When a cavity is small, we remove the decay and place a natural-looking white filling to restore the tooth. Small cavities are usually detected through X-rays and a clinical exam.
Crowns:
If a cavity is larger, a crown may be needed to protect and strengthen the tooth. For front teeth, we can place a white composite or zirconia crown. For back teeth, we may recommend a stainless steel crown or a white zirconia crown.
Extractions:
If a baby tooth has a severe infection or is causing pain, removing the tooth may be the best option to protect your child’s oral health and comfort.
Baby Root Canal (Pulpotomy):
A pulpotomy sometimes called a “baby root canal” is used to save a baby tooth when decay reaches the nerve. By removing the affected tissue and sealing the tooth, we can relieve pain, prevent infection, and help maintain the tooth until it falls out naturally.
