At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we believe early, gentle intervention is the key to keeping kids’ smiles healthy and bright. Our pediatric dental fillings in Montclair, NJ, are designed to treat cavities quickly and comfortably, using safe, durable materials that restore your child’s tooth while preserving its natural function and appearance. We offer both tooth-colored composite fillings and silver (amalgam) options depending on the tooth’s location and your child’s needs. Whether your child has a small cavity or requires a larger restoration, we make the experience as stress-free and positive as possible.
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.

At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that every child has unique needs when it comes to comfort and care. That’s why we provide safe and effective sedation options tailored for kids, from mild relaxation with laughing gas to deeper calming methods for complex treatments. Our goal is to make every visit stress-free, comfortable, and positive for your child.
Nitrous oxide, often called laughing gas, is a safe and gentle way to help kids feel calm during dental treatments. It works quickly, wears off fast, and allows your child to remain awake while reducing anxiety and discomfort. This makes it one of the most common pediatric sedation options.
Oral conscious sedation is given in liquid or pill form to help children feel relaxed while staying awake and responsive. It’s ideal for kids with higher dental anxiety or those needing longer treatments. Our team carefully monitors your child to ensure safety and comfort throughout the visit.
IV sedation is recommended for children who require deeper relaxation during more complex procedures. It works quickly through a small IV line, helping your child stay calm and comfortable while our pediatric dentist completes treatment efficiently. Safety is our priority, and your child is monitored closely the entire time.
At Fresh Pediatric Dentistry, we are proud to care for children with a variety of special needs. Our experienced team creates a patient, understanding, and supportive environment tailored to each child’s abilities. With gentle communication, flexible approaches, and a focus on comfort, we make dental visits positive for every child.

A filling removes cavity-causing bacteria and seals the tooth, preventing the decay from reaching deeper layers or neighboring teeth.
Tooth-colored fillings match your child’s smile while allowing them to eat, speak, and bite down without pain or sensitivity.
Treating decay in baby teeth protects underlying permanent teeth and helps maintain space and alignment as your child grows.
We examine your child’s teeth and may use digital X-rays to locate and assess the extent of any decay.
