White dental fillings are a popular choice for treating cavities in children, offering both durability and a natural appearance. Made from composite resin, these fillings blend seamlessly with the tooth’s natural color, making them ideal for visible areas like the front teeth. They bond directly to the tooth, providing extra strength and support. Safe and non-toxic, white fillings are a great option for parents who want effective, discreet treatment for their child's cavities, helping maintain a bright and healthy smile.

A pulpotomy is a common pediatric dental procedure used to treat tooth decay that has reached the pulp of a tooth. At Lyric Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Lyric Hildebrandt provides gentle and effective pulpotomies to preserve the health of your child’s smile.

Pediatric tooth extractions might be recommended for several reasons. One common reason is to address severe tooth decay that cannot be treated with fillings or crowns. Extracting the tooth can prevent the spread of infection and alleviate pain. Additionally, extractions may be necessary to make room for permanent teeth, ensuring they have the space to grow in properly and prevent misalignment.

A frenectomy is a simple, quick procedure that involves removing or altering the frenulum, the small piece of tissue that connects the lips or tongue to the gums. In children, this procedure is often done to treat issues like tongue-tie (restricted tongue movement) or lip-tie (tight upper lip), which can affect feeding, speech, or dental development. A frenectomy can help improve oral function, making it easier for children to eat, speak, and maintain proper oral hygiene. It's a safe and effective solution for addressing these common issues early, setting the foundation for healthy oral development.

Pediatric dental crowns are used to restore and protect damaged or decayed teeth in children. Made from durable materials like stainless steel or tooth-colored zirconia, crowns help strengthen a tooth and restore its function, especially for molars that are used for chewing. Crowns are often recommended for teeth with large cavities, broken teeth, or those that have undergone root canal treatment. With both metal and tooth-colored options available, we can choose the best crown for your child’s dental needs and smile.
