What to expect
We use tell-show-do, child-sized instruments, and lots of encouragement. Sedation options are available for longer visits.
Benefits of dental cavities treatment
- Stops tooth decay in its tracks — cavities don't heal on their own; treatment removes active decay and seals the tooth against further damage.
- Restores strength and function — your child can chew, speak, and smile comfortably again without pain or sensitivity.
- Natural, tooth-coloured results — composite fillings match the natural tooth colour, blending seamlessly with the smile.
- Prevents more serious dental issues — early treatment helps avoid complex procedures and preserves natural teeth long term.
When to book
- A checkup flagged a cavity on a baby or adult tooth
- Your child has mentioned pain when eating sweets
- A visible pit or dark spot on a tooth
- A chipped tooth with exposed darker tissue
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my child has a cavity?
Typical signs include tooth sensitivity, pain when chewing, visible holes or dark spots, or sudden discomfort. Many cavities show no early symptoms — regular checkups enable early detection.
Does cavity treatment hurt?
No. Local anesthetic numbs the area, ensuring a pain-free and gentle procedure.
How long do fillings last?
Composite fillings typically last 7–10 years or longer with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
Are tooth-coloured fillings safe and effective?
Yes — composite fillings are safe, strong, metal-free, and blend naturally with the teeth.
Can children receive cavity treatment?
Absolutely. Cavities are common in children, and gentle, age-appropriate care is provided for young patients.
