Pediatrics
Pediatric dentists specialize in treating infants, children, and adolescents, from infancy through late teens. They are trained to provide a range of dental care, including preventive and restorative dentistry, and they are uniquely qualified to provide treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and dental diseases that can affect children, especially those with special needs.
Pediatric dentistry helps promote oral health in children by providing preventive education, counseling, and small treatment plans to help children establish good oral habits for life.
Tooth Filling
A tooth filling is a dental procedure that is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay, injury, or wear.
Our Services
Tooth Filling
- Diagnosis: A dentist will examine your mouth and take x-rays to determine the location and extent of the damage. They will discuss with you the recommended treatment plan.
- Anesthesia: Depending on the location and severity of the damage, the dentist may administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth.
- Removal of Decay: The dentist will use specialized tools to remove any decay or damaged tissue from the tooth. This will leave a clean, dry surface for the filling.
- Placement of Filling Material: The dentist will place the filling material, which can be in the form of composite resin, glass ionomer, gold, porcelain, or silver amalgam. The material is molded and shaped to fit the tooth, and then hardened using a special light.
- Polishing: The filling material will be polished to give it a smooth surface that is similar to the natural tooth.
- Follow-up: The patient will need to have regular follow-up appointments to monitor the filling and to ensure that the tooth remains healthy.
It’s important to note that tooth fillings are not permanent and may need to be replaced at some point in the future. Additionally, proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups can help prolong the life of the filling and prevent future decay.
It’s also worth mentioning that a tooth filling is one of the commonest dental procedures, and it is a relatively simple and straightforward process that can save the tooth and prevent further damage.
