Dental Cavities in NE Calgary

Baby teeth are temporary, but they matter. They help your child chew and speak, and they hold space for the permanent teeth. A cavity that is left untreated can grow, cause pain and lead to infection. Treating it early protects your child's comfort and their other teeth.

• Complaints of tooth pain or sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet food
• A white, brown or black spot on a tooth
• A visible hole in a tooth
• Reluctance to chew on one side of the mouth

Some cavities cause no symptoms at all, which is why regular exams matter. If your child has swelling, a fever or severe pain, see our page for Emergency Dentists in NE Calgary. We offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies.

1. Your dentist examines your child's teeth and explains what is needed.
2. We talk with your child in a calm, friendly way before we begin.
3. The decayed part of the tooth is removed.
4. A tooth-coloured filling is placed to restore the tooth.
5. We give you tips to help prevent future cavities.
