Gentle Care for Little Teeth
Baby teeth may be temporary, but they play a vital role in your childs development. When cavities occur, gentle treatment prevents pain, infection, and problems with permanent teeth. At Empire Dental Clinic, we specialise in making filling treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible for children.
Why Baby Teeth Matter
Many parents wonder if baby teeth need treatment since they will fall out anyway. However, primary teeth:
- Hold space for permanent teeth to come through correctly
- Help children chew food properly for nutrition
- Support speech development
- Contribute to facial structure and appearance
- Build confidence in smiling
Untreated decay can spread, cause pain and infection, and damage the permanent teeth developing beneath.

Our Child-Friendly Approach
Tell-Show-Do
We explain everything in child-friendly terms, show them our tools, and let them touch and feel before we begin. This builds trust and reduces anxiety.
Gentle Anaesthesia
We apply numbing gel before any injection so your child feels minimal discomfort. For very small cavities, anaesthetic may not even be needed.
Distraction Techniques
TV screens, music, and friendly conversation help children relax during treatment. We work quickly and efficiently to minimise time in the chair.
Filling Materials We Use
Glass Ionomer
Releases fluoride to protect against further decay. Bonds chemically to tooth structure. Ideal for baby teeth and areas difficult to keep dry. Tooth-coloured for natural appearance.
Composite Resin
Strong and durable tooth-coloured material. Excellent for visible teeth and larger cavities. Bonds directly to tooth for a seamless result.

After the Filling
Your child can eat normally once the numbness wears off (usually 1-2 hours). The filling is ready to use immediately. Encourage good brushing and limit sugary snacks to protect the filling and prevent new cavities.
