Now if your child does have a cavity, depending on the severity, will dictate how we treat Dr. Suzanne will discuss all treatment options and materials.

Fillings are commonly used to restore the tooth after dental decay removal. They come in white (composites) or silver (amalgams) color.  Composite fillings are more esthetic  and usually used to treat smaller cavities and front teeth. 

Crowns are used to cover teeth that has a larger cavity or cavities in multiple areas of the tooth. This full coverage will allow the tooth to function normally by protecting the entire tooth. 

Pulpotomies are required when the dental decay has reached the nerve of the tooth. The infected nerve is removed and medicine is placed to promote healing. Often times, a crown is used to restore a tooth that has had a pulpotomy to protect the integrity of the remaining tooth structure.
