Cavities and toothaches are never fun, especially for your child. When it comes to treating decay in baby teeth, you may be wondering if there are alternatives to dental fillings. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a non-invasive procedure that doesn't require any drills or shots and can be completed in minutes. Painting on a layer of SDF to the affected tooth not only kills the bacteria that cause decay but also seals and remineralizes the tooth for added strength. If your little one has a cavity, fillings may not be the only option!

Digital X-rays provide quick, detailed images of your child’s teeth and jaw. They’re only recommended when necessary, typically every few years, unless your child is at higher risk for oral health issues.

Dental sealants are a clear resin applied to your child’s teeth and hardened with UV light. This creates a protective barrier that helps prevent cavities by blocking bacteria, acid, and food particles. Sealants are typically recommended for cavity-prone back teeth.
