Dental Fillings

What are dental fillings?

As part of Restorative Dentistry, Dr. Abraham recommends dental fillings for children who have tooth damage caused by cavities, enamel defects, or trauma. Most children try to brush and floss as they should, but there are many areas that may be missed as younger patients learn proper techniques. Tooth damage can develop into cavities, which are small holes in the surface of the tooth. Dental fillings help repair these cavities by using restorative materials to fill the holes and restore the tooth’s function.

Why would your child need dental fillings?

Cavities in the surface of a tooth create excellent openings for bacteria to find a way to the pulp. If the bacteria reach the inside of the tooth, your child may need invasive treatment than a filling or to have the tooth pulled. Dental fillings close the opening in the surface to protect the tooth.

What makes your child a good candidate for dental fillings?

Dr. Abraham typically detects cavities during her examination, although some cavities are found only with x-rays. If she finds that your child has a cavity, she will recommend dental fillings based on your child’s need. Part of her recommendation includes the types of fillings that are available. We offer tooth colored fillings for our patients.

What happens during the procedure for dental fillings?

Dr Abraham recommends the use of nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) for the comfort and pain controlling effect of the patient. The area may or may not be numbed with a local anesthetic. Dr. Abraham uses a special tool to remove any damaged enamel from the tooth. Once the area is clean, she fills the opening with a tooth colored material. Dental fillings are typically quick to perform.

“ The staff was so patient and understanding with my autistic son. It’s sometimes hard to find doctors/staff who treat children with autism with respect but everyone was so kind and worked with us throughout a difficult visit for x rays. Dr Abraham also asked lots of questions and seemed to really care about her patients. I would recommend them to anyone with small children! :) ”

“ What a great place! From the moment my child walked in, we were promptly greeted with smiles and made to feel welcome. The first dentist visit (especially for a 15-month old) can be a scary place, but Dr. Abraham and her team made us feel instantly comfortable and taken care of. My little even held the assistant's hand! Great care from a caring team and all smiles from the smallest of patients is a win, win, win!! Thanks, Castle Hills! ”

“ My 4 year old had her first appointment and I was so pleased. From the time we walked in the door there was a gentle and happy atmosphere. The office is colorful and calming. The person giving her x-rays was patient and explained everything to my curious little person. Then cleaning her teeth was a breeze and fun. The doctor was very knowledgeable and friendly and I appreciated her expertise. Overall wonderful experience and I am very pleased. Can't wait to return for checkups! ”

“ Beyond amazing! My husband and I we’re kind of worried how our daughter would react with her first ever dental appt here in the US that he has to take a day off from work to be there for it. Days prior to her appt she kept telling us she is scared. But on the day of the appt, SHE DID GREAT!! Nothing we expected at all, not even what we hoped for her reaction, to say the least. She sat still most of the time and listened to the instructions the dentist told her. She kept telling us she enjoyed the whole process afterwards. ”
