Resin/Composite Filling

Cavities! No one likes them – not parents and certainly not kids. We do our best to prevent them with regular dental check-ups, cleanings, tooth sealants, and advice about how to care for teeth at home and eat right for oral health. But sometimes kids get cavities – don’t beat yourself up. Just be sure you get those tooth cavities repaired in a way that is safe for growing bodies. Here at The Smile Place, we use only white resin or composite fillings to repair cavities. Silver metal fillings contain mercury, and we do not consider that a safe material to put in young teeth, or any teeth for that matter! Plus, since our cavity fillings are tooth colored, no one can see them in your child’s smile, saving them embarrassment and letting them smile with complete freedom.
