Fillings & Cavity Treatment
Cavities are one of the most common childhood dental problems. At Care & Cure, we treat them gently and thoroughly, ensuring the child is comfortable and the parent understands every step.
Signs your child may need this treatment
- Visible dark spots or holes on teeth
- Tooth pain, especially while eating sweet or hot/cold food
- Sensitivity when biting down
- The child avoids chewing on one side
- Discolouration of a previously healthy tooth
Why this treatment matters
Untreated cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, infection and damage to developing permanent teeth. Early treatment prevents the problem from worsening and helps maintain the tooth's function until it naturally falls out.
How we keep your child comfortable
Anaesthesia is applied using techniques that minimise discomfort. The child is spoken to calmly throughout and given breaks if needed.
What to expect during treatment
Each step is explained clearly to parents before proceeding.
Assessment
The cavity is examined and its extent determined, sometimes with an X-ray.
Explanation
The parent is told exactly what the problem is, what treatment is recommended and why.
Comfort Measures
Local anaesthesia is applied gently. The child is kept comfortable throughout.
Removal & Filling
Decayed tooth material is carefully removed and the tooth is filled with a safe, tooth-coloured material.
Check & Guidance
The bite is checked, and the parent receives aftercare instructions.
