Pediatric Restorative Dentistry in Waldo
Restoring Smiles with Gentle, Effective Care
What Is Pediatric Restorative Dentistry?
Pediatric restorative dentistry focuses on treating dental issues like decay, infection, or injury in baby teeth and developing permanent teeth. With services like tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and root canal therapy, your pediatric dentist in Waldo helps restore function, protect developing smiles, and prevent long-term complications — all while keeping your child calm and comfortable.

We’re Here When Little Teeth Need a Little Help
At The Smile Spot in Waldo, we understand that sometimes cavities happen — and accidents do too. That’s why our pediatric restorative dentistry services are designed to repair damage and relieve discomfort with compassion, precision, and a gentle touch. Whether your child needs a simple filling or more advanced care, we’re here to make the process easy and stress-free.
Services We Offer
Tooth-Colored Fillings
These natural-looking fillings are perfect for repairing small cavities without affecting your child’s smile. They’re safe, durable, and blend beautifully with natural teeth.
Pediatric Crowns
If a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a pediatric crown protects and restores it. We offer stainless steel and tooth-colored options depending on your child’s needs and the location of the tooth.
Pulp Therapy (Root Canal for Kids)
When a cavity or trauma reaches the tooth’s nerve, we may recommend pulp therapy — a child-friendly version of a root canal — to save the tooth and stop discomfort.

Yes. Pediatric crowns are placed on baby teeth that will eventually fall out naturally. Until then, they protect the tooth and support healthy development.
Not always. We only recommend treatment when it helps relieve pain, prevent infection, or preserve a tooth that’s important for your child’s development.
Along with daily brushing and healthy snacks, preventive visits, sealants, and fluoride treatments go a long way in keeping decay at bay.
