While diligent prevention helps, some decay still occurs. Fortunately, recent advances allow treating many childhood cavities without drilling. Kids Tooth Team provides these minimally invasive techniques at our Kyle practice location, sparing kids from discomfort and getting them back to good oral health.
Bacteria in our mouths feed on food particles, especially sugars and starches. As bacteria grows, it produces acids that erode protective enamel and cause tooth decay. Stages of tooth decay include:
Nowadays, decay that is caught early while still localized in enamel can often be treated with infiltration versus drilling into healthy tooth structure.
When white or brown spots indicate the early stages of tooth decay, infiltration treatment can be applied. During this treatment process, a dental resin is flowed into the compromised enamel before it reaches the dentin layer. This achieves several benefits:
Infiltration is a major pediatric dentistry advance, stopping decay non-invasively before it threatens the tooth's interior. This painless approach prevents drilling healthy areas while getting your child back to a state of good oral health.
Proudly serving patients in Buda, South Austin, Kyle, Manchaca and the surrounding communities.
