White Fillings for Kids & Teens

When your children need fillings or bonding to build up a chipped tooth, you don’t have to worry about how the dental work will look. White fillings, as provided by your children’s emergency dentist after a trauma, fit right in with the rest of the teeth. And for filling cavities, BPA free fillings are the only type of white fillings used by the best dentist for kids in Brooklyn, NYC.

Most people receive dental fillings at some point in their childhoods. In the past, the primary material for fillings was silver or amalgam. Although strong and safe, every time your child speaks, chew or smiles, the silvery color shows distinctly. White fillings, also known as composite fillings, provide an aesthetically pleasing alternative, made with a strong, safe and virtually invisible material for your child’s dental health.

Mixed with a bonding agent, the glass, quartz or resin material used in white fillings safely restores and enhances the shape and strength of your children’s teeth. While previous composite fillings were only used on the front teeth or the sides of back teeth due to strength concerns, new materials and techniques have increased the durability and longevity of the fillings, resulting in lasting, elegant restoration of your children’s compromised teeth.

The Benefits and Uses of White Fillings
Composite fillings aren’t just used for cosmetic dentistry purposes. They are extremely versatile with a wide range of uses and benefits, such as:
- Less of the existing tooth to remove than if you opted for silver fillings, as the white filling bonds directly to the tooth material
- Aesthetically pleasing as color of material that’s easily adjusted by your pediatric dentist in Brooklyn to match the adjacent teeth
- Chipped, broken or cracked tooth repair
- Contouring to change length or shape of small teeth or misshapen teeth
- Insulation of the tooth nerve against extreme temperatures, something not provided by silver fillings
- Closing wide spaces between teeth, part of a smile makeover
- Protecting and strengthening weakened teeth

The Method Used for Your Child’s White Fillings
The best pediatric dentist provides a kid-friendly environment to ensure any dental process is as painless and comfortable as possible for your children. Communicating the process to your child provides greater understanding and cooperation. Steps to place BPA free fillings for your children’s teeth include:
1. Numbing the gum and tooth, first with gel on a cotton swab and then with a small needle in the numbed gum
2. Removing the decayed material with small, specialized dental tools that can make high-pitched noises or grinding sounds
3. Cleaning the tooth and area thoroughly to remove all grit and material that could compromise the filling or bonding
4. Applying a mild acidic agent to slightly roughen the tooth, ensuring a good bond
5. Matching the color precisely to your children’s other teeth for the greatest invisibility
6. Applying the tooth-colored material to your child’s tooth in layers, carefully molding to provide a good bite, proper fit and pleasing appearance
7. Hardening between layers with a handheld curing light
8. Trimming and polishing the final layer for a smooth and pleasing finish

The best children’s dentist finishes a white filling in 30 to 60 minutes per tooth with natural-looking results. The effect is instantaneous, and there’s little-to-no worries regarding aftercare.
