What Are the Types of Pediatric Dental Restorations?

The following is a look at the restorative dentistry solutions we offer for children right here at our Fort Worth practice:

White Fillings: We are pleased to offer tooth-colored fillings to repair decayed teeth and restore healthy smiles. After removing the damaged tooth structure and cleaning and preparing the cavity, we will place a composite resin filling and shape it to match your child's natural teeth.

Pediatric Dental Crowns: If tooth decay goes untreated, it can progress to a point where restoration with a white filling is no longer an option. We are pleased to offer stainless steel or white pediatric crowns to strengthen and support weak or damaged teeth, enhancing your child's oral health. The crown will stay in place until the baby tooth naturally falls out.

Nerve Treatment: If deep decay or a tooth crack causes damage to a tooth's innermost layer, the pulp, we may recommend a nerve treatment known as a baby root canal or a pulpotomy to save the affected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged tooth pulp and placing a medicated filling to protect the remaining healthy pulp tissues and prevent further reinfection or damage. After a baby tooth nerve treatment, we typically place a dental crown for protection.

Tooth Extraction: Tooth extraction is the last resort for teeth with damage that's beyond repair. Our simple extractions can help alleviate your child's discomfort and prevent complications like infection or damage to the permanent teeth yet to erupt. Depending on the location of the tooth we remove, we may recommend placing a space maintainer, which helps prevent the neighboring teeth from shifting toward the gap. The fixed oral appliance helps maintain the space the tooth's permanent replacement needs to erupt in the correct position.
