Purpose and Benefits
Protecting Baby Teeth Effectively
White fillings in primary teeth help stop decay from progressing, protect natural tooth structure, and restore chewing function. They also preserve space for permanent teeth, supporting proper alignment and reducing the risk of orthodontic problems later. This simple treatment keeps children’s smiles healthy during vital growth years.
How Are White Fillings Placed in Children’s Teeth?
Procedure Overview
During treatment, the dentist carefully removes decay before applying tooth-coloured composite resin in thin layers. Each layer is hardened with a special curing light. Finally, the filling is shaped and polished, restoring comfort, function, and a natural look for the child’s tooth.
