Dental fillings restore teeth affected by cavities by removing decay and rebuilding the damaged area. We use tooth-colored materials to help repair the tooth while maintaining a natural appearance.
Dental crowns provide protection for teeth with extensive decay, damage, or weakened structure. They help restore the tooth’s function and protect it during development.
A pulpotomy may be recommended when decay reaches the inner part of a baby tooth. This treatment helps relieve discomfort and preserve the tooth until it is ready to fall out naturally.
When a tooth cannot be restored or creates concerns for your child’s oral health, extraction may be recommended. We carefully evaluate the tooth and explain the reason for treatment.

Baby teeth are important for chewing, speech development, and guiding permanent teeth into the correct position. If a baby tooth has significant decay or damage, restorative treatment may help maintain comfort, protect the tooth, and support healthy development until it naturally falls out.
The recommended treatment depends on the size of the cavity, the amount of healthy tooth structure remaining, and the overall condition of the tooth. Smaller areas of decay may be treated with fillings, while teeth with more extensive damage may need additional protection, such as a crown.
Some early cavities may have different treatment options depending on their location, severity, and your child’s individual needs. When a cavity has progressed beyond the point where it can be monitored or managed conservatively, a filling or another restorative treatment may be recommended to repair the tooth.
A pulpotomy may be recommended when decay reaches the inner portion of a primary tooth. This treatment addresses the affected tissue while helping preserve the remaining tooth structure when appropriate. Your pediatric dentist will evaluate the tooth and explain why this option may be recommended.
Pediatric dentists use child-focused techniques to help make restorative visits more comfortable. Before treatment begins, your dentist will explain what to expect and discuss options to support your child’s comfort based on their needs.
