Fillings for kids
What are Dental Fillings for Kids?
Dental fillings are a treatment used to repair cavities or small areas of decay in children’s teeth. A dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the space with a safe, durable material. This helps protect the tooth from further damage and restores its function and appearance.
Why Do Kids Need Dental Fillings?
- Kids are more prone to cavities due to developing brushing habits.
- Preference for sugary foods increases their risk of decay.
- Dental fillings stop decay from spreading and causing pain or infections.
- Early treatment can save the tooth and support long-term oral health.
Signs Your Child Might Need a Filling
- Small cavities or dark spots that don’t go away with brushing.
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Complaints of tooth pain when chewing.
- Food frequently getting stuck in the same spot between teeth.
