Restorative Dentistry

When teeth have cavities, we need to find a solution to manage them. There are many ways to treat dental cavities, and there are certainly no “right” or “wrong” ways of treating them. Our decisions to treat cavities are based on several factors, such as child’s cavity risk, his or her ability to cooperate, past medical and dental history, long-term prognosis of tooth, among many others. We may recommend a high fluoride interim filling, a white filling, a silver filling, a silver crown, or simply just wait and monitor the cavity’s progression. We will present and discuss all options with you during our treatment planning and consultative session.
