Our goal is to ensure your child's teeth remain healthy and strong, and we take pride in offering gentle, compassionate care. Located in Lafayette, CA, our pediatric dental office is dedicated to making every visit a positive experience for your child.
Importance of Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are essential for treating cavities and preventing further tooth decay. If left untreated, cavities can lead to more serious dental problems, including pain and infection. Our experienced team at Lamorinda Tooth Buds uses the latest techniques and materials to restore your child's teeth to their natural function and appearance.
What to Expect During a Dental Filling
When your child needs a dental filling, our team ensures the process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect during a dental filling appointment:
Examination and Diagnosis
Our Lafayette pediatric dentist will begin with a thorough examination of your child's teeth to diagnose the cavity. Digital X-rays may be taken to assess the extent of the decay.
Numbing and Preparation
To ensure your child's comfort, a local anesthetic is applied to numb the affected area. We explain each step to your child to help them feel at ease.
Removal of Decay
Using specialized tools, our dentist will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the area thoroughly to prevent any further decay.
Filling the Cavity
Once the decay is removed, the cavity is filled with a tooth-colored composite material that blends seamlessly with the natural tooth. This material is durable and provides a natural look, ensuring your child's smile remains beautiful.
Polishing and Finishing
The filling is then shaped and polished to match the natural contours of your child's tooth, ensuring a comfortable bite and smooth finish.
