Fillings

Treating dental decay in primary ("baby") teeth is important, since untreated decay in the primary tooth can affect the permanent ("adult") teeth forming below.
 

When a child is diagnosed with tooth decay, the decay must be removed and the tooth restored. Depending on the amount of the dental decay, the treatment usually involves the placement of a filling.

Here at PDC, we use the highest quality and most aesthetic products available.  We always aim to use Composite (tooth color filling) whenever possible.
