Pediatric Dental Fillings in Corona, CA

If your child has a cavity, it can compromise their oral health, and leave them with a lingering toothache. Dental fillings are one of the fastest, simplest, and most affordable ways to treat cavities for kids. Cavities are a big deal, even if they're only present in the baby teeth. Cavities can cause pain and discomfort and may lead to infected teeth or even tooth loss. Baby teeth are just as important as your child’s adult teeth since they help form the paths that adult teeth follow when they emerge later in life. With a dental filling, your child’s tooth will stay healthy for years to come.

Why does my child need a pediatric dental filling?

Children, like adults, are susceptible to tooth decay. However, leaving a cavity untreated in a child's tooth can lead to severe dental issues, including tooth loss and potential damage to the permanent teeth. Pediatric dental fillings are a proactive measure to maintain your child's oral health. By filling cavities promptly, we can prevent further decay, ease any discomfort your child might be experiencing, and preserve the integrity of their smile.

The Benefits of Pediatric Dental Fillings

Prevents Further Decay

Pediatric dental fillings halt the progression of tooth decay. When decay is left untreated, it can progress deeper into the tooth, causing pain and potentially leading to more severe issues such as abscesses or systemic infections. A filling seals off spaces where bacteria can enter, preventing further decay.

Restores Tooth Function and Appearance

A decayed tooth can affect your child's ability to chew properly and may cause discomfort. A dental filling restores the normal function and shape of the tooth, allowing your child to eat comfortably. Plus, modern fillings can be color-matched to the surrounding teeth, making them virtually invisible.

Long-lasting Solution

With proper care, pediatric dental fillings can last for many years. They provide a durable solution that can withstand the forces of chewing and biting. This long-lasting treatment protects your child's oral health and gives you peace of mind.

The Pediatric Dental Fillings Treatment Process

Examination and Diagnosis

Dr. Huh will first examine your child's teeth to identify any signs of decay. She may use a small mirror to inspect the surfaces of the teeth and take X-rays for a more comprehensive view.

Removal of Decay

Once a cavity has been identified, the decayed tooth material is carefully removed. This process is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your child feels no discomfort during the procedure.

Filling the Tooth

After the decay has been removed and the area cleaned, the cavity is filled with a filling material. The material is then shaped and polished to match the shape of the tooth, restoring its normal function and appearance.
