The tooth-colored filling procedure is straightforward and designed with your child’s needs in mind. It begins with numbing the area using a local anesthetic, allowing the dentist to gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth. A special gel is then applied to thoroughly clean and prepare the tooth surface. After this, a composite resin is carefully placed, shaped, and hardened with a curing light, followed by polishing and adjusting the filling to ensure it fits comfortably with your child’s bite. If your child feels anxious about the procedure, sedation options are available to create a more relaxing experience.
To ensure a positive outcome, it’s important to prepare both before and after the appointment. After the procedure, it’s best to avoid hard or sticky foods for a few hours, and continue maintaining a daily oral hygiene routine to protect the treated tooth from further decay.
