What Are the Reasons My Child Might Need a Filling?

By removing the decay and replacing it with a durable tooth-colored filling, We can stop the cavity from progressing. This not only restores your child's smile but also eliminates any discomfort associated with the cavity.
Stop Future Issues Before They Start
