What is a Cavity Filling?

A cavity filling is a dental procedure where the dentist removes the decayed portion of a tooth and fills it with a material to restore its shape and function. This treatment helps prevent further decay and strengthens the tooth, allowing your child to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

What to Expect

During the cavity filling appointment, our friendly dental team ensures a comfortable experience for your child. We begin by applying a local anesthetic on the area around the tooth to minimize any discomfort. Next, the decayed portion of the tooth is gently removed. After cleaning the cavity, the dentist will fill the tooth with the preferred dental filling material. Finally, the filling is shaped and polished to restore the tooth’s original shape and function.
