Pulp Therapy
At the center of every tooth is a bundle of sensitive nerve tissue called the “pulp.” Decay or cracks in a tooth’s enamel can give bacteria the opportunity to infect the pulp. As you might imagine, this can be debilitatingly painful.
If your child is experiencing an excruciating toothache, our dentists may recommend pulp therapy to soothe the pain and prevent the bacteria from spreading. Not only that, but pulp therapy can also save the tooth from becoming so damaged that it needs extraction. The procedure will be comfortable for your child because we’ll fully numb the area before we remove the infected pulp.
Metal-Free Dental Crowns
If a tooth is decayed or damaged beyond the point where a filling is sufficient, placing a dental crown is almost always our next course of action. Our crowns contain zero metal. Instead, they’re made of ceramic-like material called zirconia, which is remarkably durable. Not only do metal-free dental crowns protect your child’s vulnerable tooth, but they’ll also blend right in with their overall smile because we’ll customize the precise shade of the zirconia.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Even if your child brushes and flosses daily and gets dental sealants and regular fluoride treatments, cavities can still develop. When this occurs, our pediatric dentists in Allen will most likely suggest treating the decay with a tooth-colored filling.
If you’re worried that getting a cavity filled will leave your child with an instantly visible glint of gold or silver in their smile, don’t be. These days, dentists are increasingly using tooth-colored fillings to treat cavities. We make these fillings from a shade of composite resin that is specifically chosen to match the natural color of your child’s tooth enamel, ensuring seamless results. Plus, the resin is completely metal-free as well as BPA-free, making them perfect for kids with allergies or sensitivities to metal.
