Can every cavity be treated without drilling?
No. No-drill treatments work best for certain early cavities or in specific situations. Depending on your child’s age, comfort level, and the size of the cavity, we may recommend options such as Silver Diamine Fluoride or interim restorative materials to slow decay until more definitive treatment is appropriate.
Are baby teeth worth repairing?
Yes. Baby teeth help children chew, speak clearly, and hold space for permanent teeth. Treating decay early can help prevent pain, infection, and more extensive dental treatment later.
When is a dental crown recommended for a child?
A dental crown may be recommended when a baby tooth has a large cavity, has been weakened after pulp therapy, or cannot be restored with a filling alone. Crowns protect the tooth and allow it to continue functioning until it is ready to fall out naturally.
Why would my child need a space maintainer?
If a baby tooth is lost too early, the surrounding teeth can begin to shift into the empty space. A space maintainer helps preserve the room needed for the permanent tooth to erupt in the proper position.
