What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are one of the most common dental treatments, restoring a tooth that has developed a cavity. Cavities form when tooth decay has managed to eat away at a tooth enough to cause permanent damage in the form of a small hole. While in this stage, you might not feel pain yet, but it is vital to stop the decay in its tracks with proper treatment. A dental filling treatment involves cleaning the affected tooth to clear out any decay, and then placing a filling to fill in the hole, restoring your tooth to its original state.

We understand that visiting the dentist might not be your favorite time of the year. And your kids might feel the same. That is why Pacific Dental Center aims to go above and beyond to ensure kids and adults alike feel comfortable during their visit. We work closely with our patients to understand their needs and take action in any way possible to improve your experience in a personalized way. For kids, we have specialized kids’ dentists whose training and background focus specifically on providing kids with a positive dental experience.
Do I need a filling?
Usually, we can spot a cavity that needs a filling during your routine dental checkup. These regular visits allow you and your kids to stay on top of your dental health and stop any decay before it goes too far. If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, we recommend coming in for a checkup. By the time that a cavity starts causing symptoms, it may end up needing a different treatment. We are happy to provide any dental care you need to keep your child’s smile healthy throughout their life.

Importance of Dental Fillings for Children
Since many children have not lost their baby teeth yet, some parents may put off dental treatment. However, just because a tooth may eventually fall out does not lessen the importance of receiving treatment. Unchecked tooth decay can cause problems for more than just a single tooth. It can lead to an infection of even gum disease if not addressed in time. So we are always here to provide the optimal treatment for your child to ensure they stay overall healthy and happy.
