Restorative Dentistry

In Lafayette

At Little Cloud Pediatric Dentistry, located in Lafayette, CA, we focus on providing top-notch pediatric stainless steel crowns. These durable and reliable crowns are an excellent solution for restoring the function and appearance of your child's primary teeth. Stainless steel crowns are particularly beneficial for children with extensive tooth decay or those who have undergone pulpotomies.

The aim is to remove the infected pulp tissue, alleviate pain, and prevent the spread of infection, ensuring that the tooth remains functional until it naturally falls out. Dr. Forer uses the latest techniques and child-friendly approaches to make the experience as comfortable as possible for your little ones.

Imagine if your child's teeth could heal themselves. That's the idea behind Curodont, a new dental treatment that's changing the way we deal with early tooth decay in kids. Instead of drilling and filling, Curodont uses special proteins to help your child's tooth rebuild its own enamel. It's quick, painless, and works on those pesky white spots or early cavities you might notice on your little one's teeth. By encouraging the tooth to repair itself naturally, Curodont helps keep more of your child's real tooth intact. It's like giving your child's teeth a helping hand to stay healthy.

When kids hear the words “root canal,” it’s natural for little hearts to beat a bit faster, but at Little Cloud Pediatric Dentistry, we transform that fear into confidence and smiles. A pediatric root canal is a gentle, tooth-saving procedure designed to treat infections or deep decay in a child’s baby tooth.

Sports guards are worn over the teeth, and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from oral trauma caused by high-impact sports. Many sports put players at risk for dental injuries caused by collisions to the mouth, face, or head, but a custom-fitted sports guard can help protect you from chipping, cracking, or knocking out a tooth. Tailored to fit your unique smile, sports guards are both comfortable and durable, so you can play the sports you love without missing a beat.

A sports guard is essential if you’re an athlete who plays football, basketball, baseball, soccer, rugby, hockey, gymnastics, mountain biking, or if you participate in any other activities that put you at risk for injury due to falling, body contact, or flying objects.

When children lose their primary teeth prematurely, whether due to decay, injury, or other reasons, space maintainers come to the rescue. These custom-made devices are designed to hold the space open, ensuring that the permanent teeth have the room they need to grow in properly.

While most baby teeth fall out on their own, sometimes pediatric tooth extractions are necessary to protect your child’s oral health. Whether due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or dental trauma, a gentle and carefully planned extraction can pave the way for healthy permanent teeth to emerge.

Digital X-rays, a quick and efficient method for capturing images of your child's dental health, are used only when deemed necessary by the dentist. Typically, X-rays are recommended every few years, though children with a higher risk of oral disease may need more frequent scans. We will prescribe dental X-rays based on your child's cavity risk level.

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where cavities often form. These sealants create a barrier that shields enamel from harmful bacteria and food particles, significantly reducing the risk of tooth decay.
