When cavities occur, prompt treatment with dental fillings helps restore your child's tooth structure and prevent further decay. At Main Street Pediatric Dentistry Of Belmont, we use modern, tooth-colored filling materials to repair cavities while maintaining the natural appearance of your child's smile.
Dental fillings are the most common treatment for cavities in children’s teeth. When decay creates a hole in a tooth, the damaged portion must be removed and replaced with filling material to restore the tooth’s function and prevent bacteria from causing further damage. Modern filling materials are safe, durable, and designed to blend seamlessly with natural tooth color.
Dr. Matthew Savage uses gentle techniques and child-friendly approaches to make the filling process as comfortable as possible. We explain each step in age-appropriate terms, helping children understand why the treatment is necessary and what to expect during their visit. Our goal is to restore your child’s oral health while creating positive associations with dental care.
These tooth-colored fillings blend naturally with your child’s teeth and provide excellent durability for most cavities. Composite fillings bond directly to tooth structure and can be completed in a single visit.
These fluoride-releasing fillings are particularly beneficial for children because they provide ongoing protection against future decay. They’re often used in areas where aesthetics are less critical but cavity prevention is paramount.
For extensive decay in baby teeth, stainless steel crowns provide comprehensive protection until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt. These pre-formed crowns are durable and help preserve space for developing permanent teeth.
The filling procedure begins with numbing the area around the affected tooth to ensure your child’s comfort throughout treatment. We then carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the cavity thoroughly. The filling material is placed in layers and shaped to restore the tooth’s natural contours and bite.
Throughout the process, we maintain open communication with both children and parents, explaining what we’re doing and why. Our gentle approach and modern techniques help minimize discomfort while achieving excellent results that will serve your child well for years to come.
Dr. Matthew Savage brings extensive experience in pediatric dentistry to Main Street Pediatric Dentistry Of Belmont. Board-certified and passionate about children's oral health, Dr. Savage believes in building trust with young patients through gentle care and clear communication with both children and parents.
