to learn more or schedule an appointment.When cavities form, dental fillings are used to repair the damage and restore the tooth’s health. Dr. Tasker uses BPA-free composite (white) fillings to ensure your child’s tooth is both strong and natural-looking. However, if the decay is extensive or close to the nerve, a different treatment may be recommended to protect the tooth.
If decay reaches the nerve of a tooth, Dr. Tasker may suggest a pulpotomy or pulpectomy to remove the diseased dental pulp and relieve discomfort. To protect the tooth after the procedure, a crown is placed for full coverage.
For larger cavities that cannot be treated with a filling, crowns are often the best solution. Crowns completely cover and protect the remaining tooth structure after decay is removed. We offer a variety of crown materials, including stainless steel, porcelain, and zirconia, to meet your child’s needs. Dr. Tasker will discuss the options with you and recommend the best choice based on the tooth’s location and the extent of the damage.
While we aim to preserve your child’s natural teeth, there are times when an extraction is necessary. This may be due to severe decay, cracked teeth, overcrowding, or extra teeth. Dr. Tasker prioritizes your child’s comfort and will perform the procedure in-office or refer you to an oral surgeon, depending on the situation.
