Services
Tooth-colored fillings are used primarily to restore small to moderate-sized cavities.
They bond to tooth structure and are more aesthetically pleasing than traditional fillings.
Crowns are used to restore primary molars when there is not enough tooth structure to hold a filling.
They are mostly used on severely decayed teeth, after pulp therapy, and for children with a history of grinding or bruxism habit.
If you would like to see a video of this procedure, please ask your dental assistant at the time of your child's appointment.

The following is a list of some common concerns after your child has had dental treatment.
Local anesthetic is the most effective way to eliminate discomfort which may accompany dental treatment.
The only downside to a comfortable dental visit and anesthetized teeth is the consequential numbness of the adjacent soft tissues, lips, cheeks and tongue.
The effects and duration of numbness varies for every individual and based on the type of anesthetic agents administered.
We use the local anesthetic that best suits the treatment type and normally the numbness wears off within an hour after treatment.

Some dental problems begin very early in life.
One concern is early childhood tooth decay, a serious condition caused by a child staying on the bottle (or breast) too long.
Another problem is gum disease.
About 40 percent of children 2 to 3 years old have at least mild inflammation of gum tissues.
Oral habits (such as finger-sucking) are also a concern.
The earlier your child begins seeing a dentist, the less likely your child is to have problems.
Strong, healthy teeth help your child chew food easily, speak clearly, and feel confident about his or her appearance.
