We strive for our patients to be cavity free by the time they graduate from our practice between ages 12 and 14, depending on the ability of the child to accept dental care. Our emphasis is on prevention through brushing, flossing and a well-balanced diet. However, in the case that fillings are required, our doctors employ the very best in dental materials that are currently available. We use tooth colored composite fillings that can be used for both front and back teeth.
