Treatment & RestorationDental treatment as determined by the...

Report

A pulpotomy treatment is necessary when the pulp chamber in the center of a baby tooth becomes infected. This can occur if the tooth has untreated tooth decay and where the decay gets close to the pulp chamber or even penetrates it. When this occurs, the tissue in the pulp chamber will become irritated and inflamed and it's likely your child will have toothache.

Amalgam Fillings

Report

If your child has a cavity then it is important to remove the area of tooth decay and to fill the tooth as soon as possible. This prevents the tooth decay from spreading further and the filing seals out bacteria, preventing the tooth from becoming re-infected. Amalgam is an extremely strong and reliable filling material and it has been successfully used for more than 100 years.

Posterior Composite Fillings

Report

While amalgam fillings can be used to repair large areas of decay in back teeth, tooth colored composite fillings offer an alternative and less visible way to restore teeth damaged by tooth decay. The materials used in today's modern composite material fillings are extremely strong. We use the best and most technologically advanced composite material to repair teeth and these come in many different shades and translucencies so the filing can be closely matched to your child's natural teeth.Composite fillings bonds very strongly to natural teeth, protecting the remaining tooth structure.
