Paediatric Dental Fillings in Argüelles, Madrid
Paediatric composite fillings are the first-choice treatment for decay in baby teeth. Biocompatible, aesthetic and strong, they preserve the tooth until its natural replacement.
Paediatric fillings: the modern treatment for childhood decay
Paediatric composite fillings are restorative materials specially formulated for children's baby teeth. They are the modern alternative to mercury amalgams (no longer used in quality paediatric dentistry).
Why treat baby teeth?
Many parents think it is not worth treating baby teeth because "they are going to fall out anyway". This belief is a mistake:
- Decay in baby teeth can cause intense pain that affects eating and sleep.
- Untreated decay can infect the bud of the permanent tooth underneath.
- Premature loss of baby teeth can cause spacing problems for the permanent ones.
Advantages of paediatric composite fillings
- Aesthetic: A colour similar to the natural tooth, without the metallic appearance of amalgam.
- Biocompatible: No mercury or heavy metals.
- Adhesive: They bond chemically to the tooth, reinforcing its structure.
- Quick: In a single visit.
