Mercury-free and BPA-free Fillings in Prosper, TX

At WindHaven Pediatric Dentistry, we want to provide the absolute best care for growing smiles in Aubrey and surrounding communities. Our team is proud to offer restorative options that are completely mercury-free and BPA- free.

For fillings, we offer composite resin, which combines resin and ceramic particles. This material bonds very well to enamel, provides better protection from future decay, and can be colored to match the shade of the tooth.

How long do dental fillings last?

The lifespan of a filling depends on the type of material used and how well it is taken care of and cleaned. With proper dental hygiene, most dental fillings from a pediatric dentist can last for years. This makes them an excellent long-term treatment for young people with teeth that are decayed or damaged.

How do I clean my child's teeth?

Pediatric dentists usually don't recommend that children under three years old use a toothbrush for cleaning. This is because bristles can be damaging to the soft tissues and baby teeth. After three years old, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove food particles and prevent future problems that require fillings.

How else can I prevent cavities?

Proper oral hygiene is important if you want to prevent cavities in Prosper, TX. Fluoride treatment may help, in addition to brushing twice a day, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash.
