Fillings & Cavities
Even with the best prevention, cavities can develop in children. When they do, it's important to treat them promptly — even in baby teeth — to prevent spread, pain, and damage to developing permanent teeth. At 124 Street Dental, we treat cavities with gentle techniques and tooth-coloured fillings, keeping kids comfortable and calm throughout.
How It Works
Assessment & X-Rays
We confirm the extent of decay using x-rays and a careful exam to plan the most conservative, appropriate treatment.
Calm Preparation
We explain everything to your child in age-appropriate language, answer their questions, and never rush.
Gentle Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is applied with a topical numbing gel first to minimize any sensation from the injection.
Decay Removal
Decay is carefully removed using child-sized instruments and our gentlest approach.
Tooth-Coloured Filling
Composite resin is placed, shaped, and cured — leaving no visible sign of the cavity repair and restoring the tooth fully.
Benefits of Fillings & Cavities
- Treat decay before it spreads or causes pain
- Tooth-coloured fillings — no silver or metal
- Protects neighbouring and developing permanent teeth
- Child-focused communication throughout
- Gentle technique to minimize anxiety
- Prevents the need for more complex treatment later

Q.Should I fill a cavity in a baby tooth if it will fall out anyway?
Yes, in most cases. Untreated cavities in baby teeth can cause pain, infection, and damage to the permanent tooth developing beneath. Baby teeth also hold space for permanent teeth.
Q.Will my child be scared?
We specialize in helping anxious children. We explain each step in simple terms, go at their pace, and never pressure or rush. Most children do far better than parents expect.
Q.What if my child won't sit still?
Our team is experienced with wiggly kids. For very young or anxious children, we may discuss sedation options to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
Q.How can I help prevent future cavities?
Limit sugary drinks and snacks, ensure proper brushing twice daily (supervised until age 8–9), floss daily, and maintain regular check-up appointments. Sealants and fluoride treatments add extra protection.
