Fillings

Instructions post fillings:

If your child just had primary (baby) teeth fillings; they would not have the feeling of numbness and could proceed to eat and drink normally.
If your child had an adult tooth filling (unless otherwise noted), they are experiencing numbness. Please proceed to the numbness page for additional information.

What to expect post fillings:

Sensitivity to hot/cold up to 3 months, but this should gradually get better.
Although the decay did not reach the nerve, it has weakened the nerve over time. We cannot fully predict how it will react other than to give it time to calm down. Most nerves will make a full recovery; however, some will die on their own due to stress over time.

Does your child show these symptoms?

Pain that keeps your child up overnight
Gum boil/pimple on top of the tooth
Increasing discomfort to hot/cold 3 months post-treatment.

If so, give us a call so we can see your child.

You get in and out quickly and the entire staff is always so friendly and at the end the kids get a cool balloon creation and a token for the toy machine which is of course nice for the kids😁 definitely recommend

They were patient and very thorough of what they would be doing. They completely made me and my kids comfortable. They are completely geared towards the kids and making sure they have a great experience. It was super clean and very put together. Highly would recommend
