Pedodontic Dental Filling is a treatment used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures in children. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, the dentist at our affiliated hospital fills the area with a tooth-coloured composite resin to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function. This treatment helps stop the progression of tooth decay, protects the inner structure of the tooth, and prevents further damage. By preserving the baby tooth until it naturally falls out, Pedodontic Dental Filling supports proper chewing, speech development, and alignment of permanent teeth.

Pedodontic Dental Filling starts with an examination and sometimes X-rays to assess the cavity’s depth. If the decay is extensive, local anesthesia may be given to ensure the child feels no discomfort. The dentist at our affiliated hospital uses a drill to carefully remove the decayed part of the tooth and then cleans the area thoroughly.

Next, a tooth-coloured composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to fit the tooth naturally. Each layer is hardened using a special blue bonding light. Once the filling is complete, the tooth is polished and checked to make sure the bite feels comfortable and smooth.
