Moreover, The Kids Place takes pride in being an amalgam-free dental office, ensuring you receive treatment with the safest possible materials.
Pediatric Endodontics
For children experiencing severe tooth damage or decay, our pediatric dental team may recommend gentle endodontic treatment such as root canal therapy or a pulpotomy. These treatments are perform to ease pain, prevent disease and restore your child’s healthy smile!
Endodontic treatment is typically used to address infection or inflammation that has been caused by a deep cavity or injury to the tooth. To treat a child's permanent tooth, our Kids Place dentist may recommend root canal therapy. For your child's root canal treatment, their affected tooth will be numbed, allowing our dentist to carefully remove any infected pulp before resealing the tooth.
Endodontic therapy may also be performed on a baby tooth, with treatments like a pulpotomy to remove decay and affected pulp from the tooth, while leaving the tooth’s healthy root intact. After your child’s tooth has been treated with endodontic therapy, Dr. Wilkerson will cover and seal the tooth with a protective new filling or dental crown to complete their tooth restoration!
Dental Bonding
Utilizing the power of dental bonding, we can beautify and strengthen missing parts of a tooth. Our expertly shade-matched, tooth-colored materials, similar to white fillings, enable us to cover chips or gaps in the teeth effectively. Moreover, the procedures often do not require numbing or adjusting the tooth, making the experience even more comfortable for many patients.
