Baby teeth play an important role in the overall health of your child. Keeping baby teeth healthy, helps create healthy adult teeth and proper spacing for the adult teeth to come in. Primary teeth or baby teeth are different than adult teeth. They have a thinner outer layer of enamel which makes it easier for them to get cavities.

Stainless Steel Crowns are used to restore primary teeth when the cavity is very large or if the tooth needs a pulpotomy or baby root canal. Stainless Steel Crowns are pre-made and then are adjusted to fit the primary tooth.

Sealants are a thin coating that fills and seals the grooves on the back teeth. This prevents bacteria from getting into the deep grooves of the chewing surfaces and helps protect adult molars from getting cavities.
