As a parent, your child's dental health is a top priority. When it comes to dental fillings, you may be wondering which type is best for your child. This is where white dental fillings come in, a popular, safe, and aesthetically pleasing option.
White dental fillings are made from a mixture of composite dental resin. They are designed to match the color of your child's teeth, making them a discreet option for treating cavities. These fillings are strong, durable, and can withstand the pressure of biting and chewing, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.
There are many benefits to white fillings, including:
One significant advantage of opting for white fillings for your child is eliminating worries about the mercury content found in traditional amalgam fillings. Our white fillings are mercury-free, ensuring your child's safety and peace of mind. We prioritize the use of non-toxic materials, providing a safer and healthier alternative for your child's dental care. By choosing white fillings, you are not only enhancing the appearance of your child's smile but also making a proactive choice for their overall well-being.
At Saginaw Kids Dentistry, Dr. Elias and Dr. Christina are experienced in providing white dental fillings for children. We understand the unique needs of our young patients and strive to create a comfortable, stress-free experience. Our team uses the latest techniques and materials to ensure the best results, and we're always available to answer any questions you may have.
During your child's appointment, Dr. Elias or Dr. Christina will use a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth before the filling treatment. Then, they’ll remove the decayed part of the tooth. Next, they'll apply the white filling material in layers, hardening each one with a special light. The process is fairly quick, and our team will be sure to provide aftercare instructions to help the filling last as long as possible.
