Overcoming Dental Anxiety with Compassionate Care

Stainless Steel Crowns
When a baby tooth is extensively decayed and using other filling materials isn’t likely to be successful, we recommend restoring the tooth with a stainless steel crown. After removing the decay, your dentist will fit and cement a prefabricated crown made of stainless steel over the tooth. Stainless steel crowns are less likely to require retreatment, are highly durable, and offer full-coverage protection for the tooth, ensuring healthy teeth.
Root Canals
If the pulp of the tooth is involved in a filling or stainless steel crown procedure, the dentist may also need to perform pulpal therapy before placing the filling or crown. But rest assured it is quite common, even for young permanent teeth. Pulpal therapy is needed when a tooth’s pulp is infected, impacting the nerves in the tooth. During the procedure, we remove the infected pulp, disinfect the canals to eliminate any remaining bacteria, and fill the tooth with a medicated material to protect against further damage.
Catering to Special Needs in Pediatric Dentistry
Our commitment to personalized dental care for children with special needs ensures they receive unparalleled oral health services in a supportive clinic setting. Pediatric specialists at Ash Family Dental are adept in adapting their clinical practices to accommodate each child’s individual requirements.
