White Fillings

Teeth Whitening for Babies. Baby (primary) teeth sometimes need fillings. Primary teeth play a critical part in your child’s development, affecting their ability to:

  • Chew food
  • Develop strong jaw muscles and use of the tongue
  • Speak properly
  • Maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth

When a tooth is cracked, disfigured or decayed, a composite (white) filling may be used to restore the tooth to prevent more extensive breakage needing a crown or to keep a primary tooth in place until the permanent tooth erupts. Composite fillings are tooth colored and can be closely matched to the existing tooth color, especially important in more visible areas of the mouth. These fillings are very durable and should last many years. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to Tooth Buds Pediatric Dentistry in Chicago will help fillings last longer and help your child enjoy a pain-free, healthy mouth.
