Why Should I Get Pediatric Dental Fillings?

Cavities are one of the most common dental problems in children. If left untreated, they can lead to pain, infection, and damage to developing permanent teeth. A dental filling removes decay and rebuilds the tooth’s structure, preventing further problems and restoring function.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we use minimally invasive techniques and gentle numbing methods to ensure your child stays comfortable. Our team will guide you through your options and help you make the best choice for your child’s long-term oral health.
