We use digital X-rays and thorough exams to detect cavities at their earliest stage. This helps us treat issues before they become painful or serious. Early diagnosis leads to less invasive, more comfortable care overall.
We begin with a gentle exam to check for visible signs of cavities or sensitivity. If needed, digital X-rays help us see decay between teeth or under the surface. This ensures accurate diagnosis and early detection.
Once decay is found, we carefully remove the damaged area with child-friendly tools. The space is then cleaned and filled using a tooth-colored material. This restores strength, function, and the natural look of your child’s tooth.
After treatment, we guide families on brushing, flossing, and healthy eating habits. We also schedule regular checkups to monitor progress and prevent future decay. Every visit reinforces lifelong habits for strong, healthy smiles.
