Fillings May Prevent Infection
Your child needs a dental filling because he or she is suffering from tooth decay. This means that a small hole has formed in your child’s tooth, which will continue to progress until will fill it. The reason this becomes increasingly problematic is because the cavity may provide entrance for bacteria that can cause infection. An infected tooth will then require root canal treatment or an extraction. Avoid these concerns by choosing a filling.
Fillings May Inhibit Damage
As a cavity grows, the tissue around it ends up in short supply. When your child’s tooth becomes fragile, the chance of breakage continues to increase. Rather than waiting for something serious like a shattered or broken tooth, choose a filling. It will restore the structural integrity of the tooth, as well as its appearance, for long-term health and excellent function.
A Dental Filling Restores Daily Comfort
Tooth enamel is not sensitive – the tissue within the tooth, however, is full of nerves that may become extremely sensitive once exposed. The deeper a cavity becomes, the more uncomfortable it is likely to feel. You can keep your little one’s mouth feeling comfortable by agreeing to a dental filling – we will ensure your child’s comfort throughout the treatment.
