Fillings & gentle repairs
A cavity in a baby tooth still needs treatment — untreated decay can hurt the permanent tooth growing underneath. We use tooth-colored fillings and go at a pace your child can handle, splitting a visit into two if that’s what it takes.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
How a filling visit works here.
Same tell-show-do approach as every other visit — plus breaks whenever your child needs one.
Tell, show, do
We explain what comes next, show it, then do it. No surprises mid-chair.
Numbing, explained first
For most fillings, yes — a topical numbing gel first so the shot itself is close to painless. We tell your child exactly what the numbness will feel like beforehand.
Tooth-colored fillings, at their pace
Repairs use tooth-colored fillings. We go at a pace your child can handle, and we can split a visit into two if that’s what it takes.

BY AGE
When a baby tooth still needs a filling.
Infection and the permanent tooth underneath
A baby tooth with a cavity can get infected and hurt the permanent tooth forming underneath.
Growing-up years
On the Kids Care hub, tooth-colored fillings sit with checkups and sealants in the ages 4–12 block — when cavities do show up, gentle repair is part of the plan.
Pain before the tooth would fall out
Decay can cause pain long before the baby tooth would naturally fall out.
