Does A Child Ever Need A Tooth Extraction?
We’ve been talking a lot about our fillings and crowns, and even root canal procedures, which we use to repair teeth and preserve them. However, sometimes an oral health issue could arise that needs more than a restoration. To avoid complications, we may need to actually remove one! In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist will talk about tooth extraction.
What Happens If A Child’s Tooth Becomes Infected?
When your little one’s tooth aches due to a cavity, then a filling may be necessary. But what if the cavity grows so severe an infection arises? To avoid complications like worsening pain or premature tooth loss, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist may suggest we treat an infection with a conservative root canal procedure known as a pulpotomy.

Is Pandemic Snacking Causing Cavities?

Increased snacking, especially of sugary and starchy foods, is a major factor in a rise in children’s cavities. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, pediatric dentist talks about keeping smiles healthy with routine habits at home.
