Fillings for Children
Dental Fillings for Children in San Diego
Gentle, Pain-Free Dental Fillings Your Child Will Actually Feel Good About
When your child needs dental fillings, choosing the right pediatric dentist makes all the difference. At Juni Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in San Diego, we specialize in making dental fillings a comfortable, stress-free experience that protects your child’s smile and oral health.
What Are Fillings?
Dental fillings are a common restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay or cavities. Our pediatric dental team removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the space with safe, durable materials that restore the tooth’s function and appearance. Early treatment with dental fillings prevents small cavities from becoming major dental problems.
Why Choose Us for Your Child’s Dental Fillings?
Anxiety-Free Experience: Our child-friendly approach transforms dental fillings from scary to manageable. We use gentle techniques, explain each step in kid-friendly terms, and offer comfort amenities like headphones, blankets, and rewards to keep your child relaxed during their dental filling procedure.
Advanced Pain Management: We utilize the latest pain management techniques, including topical numbing, gentle injection methods, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) when needed. Most children experience minimal discomfort during and after their dental fillings.
Same-Day Treatment: Our efficient San Diego location allows us to complete most dental fillings in a single visit, minimizing time away from school and activities while quickly protecting your child’s oral health.
Prevention-Focused Care: Beyond placing dental fillings, we educate families about proper oral hygiene, diet choices, and preventive care to reduce the need for future dental fillings and maintain optimal oral health.
When Your Child Needs Dental Fillings
Common signs that indicate your child may need dental fillings include tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, visible holes or dark spots on teeth, or rough/sharp edges. Early intervention with dental fillings prevents more extensive treatments like crowns or root canals.
Caring for Dental Fillings
Proper care extends the life of dental fillings and maintains your child’s oral health. We provide detailed instructions on brushing, flossing around dental fillings, and foods to avoid immediately after treatment.
