Children’s Fillings, Crowns and Pulp Care
Tooth-colored fillings, crowns for baby teeth and pulp treatment when a cavity reaches the nerve, explained to you before anything is done.
Tooth-colored fillings
When a cavity is small, we clean out the decay and fill the tooth with a tooth-colored material. We numb the area first and explain each step in words your child understands.
Crowns for baby teeth
If a baby tooth has a large cavity or has broken, a crown can cover and protect it until the adult tooth is ready. We talk with you about the options that fit your child’s tooth.
Pulp treatment
When decay reaches the nerve inside a baby tooth, pulp treatment can remove the infected tissue and keep the tooth in place. Keeping the baby tooth helps hold space for the adult tooth.
Questions parents ask
Why fix a baby tooth that will fall out?
Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth and help with chewing and speech. Untreated cavities can cause pain and infection.
