Minimally Invasive Dentistry In Newton
Minimally-invasive dentistry focuses on preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, using gentle techniques to treat decay and damage effectively. This approach promotes long-term oral health while minimizing discomfort and recovery time.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
At Bee Happy Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that tooth decay is the most common preventable childhood disease. Traditional methods for treating minor cavities in primary (baby) teeth often involve drilling and filling, which is why we prioritize conservative options like Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF). SDF is an antimicrobial liquid designed to address tooth cavities in children. It contains fluoride and silver ions, which eliminate bacteria and halt tooth decay when brushed onto cavities. We offer SDF for very young children when traditional treatments aren't feasible, as it can arrest caries and defer more invasive procedures until they are older and better able to tolerate them. FDA-approved for safety and efficacy, SDF provides a comfortable, less invasive treatment experience while promoting long-term oral health.
Hall Crowns
At Bee Happy Pediatric Dentistry, we offer the Hall Technique (HT) as a minimally invasive option for treating decay in primary teeth, especially for young children who may struggle with cooperation. This innovative approach allows us to restore teeth without the need for numbing shots, drilling, or sedation. Instead, we place a pre-formed crown over the decayed tooth, effectively sealing it and promoting natural healing while preserving the tooth's structure. The Hall Technique reduces discomfort and anxiety, ensuring a positive dental experience for your little one. We are committed to providing effective care while prioritizing your child’s comfort, so they leave our office with a healthy smile and confidence!
