Baby Teeth Get Cavities Too

  Baby Teeth Fillings

  Many babies and young children undergoing the development and growth of their teeth are prone to developing tooth decay and/or cavities. Prevention is possible with a good diet and good oral hygiene, as well as with fissure sealants. If your child’s teeth have already developed cavities or have decayed, however, your child may require fillings.

  Baby Teeth Filling Materials

  Like with adults, baby teeth filling materials vary. The dentists at Bandon Dental use white and amalgam filling compounds that provide lasting results and that seamlessly match the colour of your child’s teeth. White and amalgam fillings used by Bandon Dental protect your child’s bite and the structural support of their teeth.

  Safe & Painless Child Teeth Fillings

  Many children (and adults!) worry about pain from the application of fillings. Some teeth fillings require no anaesthetic at all since no drilling is required, and thus the pain or discomfort is often negligible. Deeper fillings that require drilling require sedation, but Bandon Dental use modern anaesthetics to make the entire process pain-free for your child.

  How to Prevent Child Cavities

  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, which is why preventing cavities and tooth decay is preferable to fillings. Teach your children by example, by brushing your teeth frequently and consuming healthy foods and beverages free of sugars. If your child does develop a cavity, Bandon Dental can provide fillings for baby teeth.

  Does Your Child Need Fillings?

  Often, the signs of tooth decay or cavities are obvious in your child. Pain and discomfort may indicate the need for treatment (fillings), but they could also be signs that your child’s baby teeth are about to fall out. The best way to determine if your child needs fillings is to schedule a child dental examination with Bandon Dental.
