When it comes to pediatric oral health, dental fillings are a common treatment that helps protect your child's teeth from further decay. Pediatric dental fillings are performed by experienced dentists like Dr. Angie Sage and Dr. Kathryn Walker at Alamo Heights Pediatric Dentistry.

Pediatric dental crowns are tooth-shaped "caps"that are placed over a tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and improve its appearance. Dr. Angie Sage and Dr. Kati Walker at Alamo Heights Pediatric Dentistry provide this treatment to protect and preserve your child's smile.

A pulpotomy is a dental procedure commonly performed on children to treat a tooth that has severe decay or has been damaged due to trauma. The procedure involves partially removing the pulp tissue, also known as the nerve and blood supply of the tooth, from the crown portion of a tooth to prevent infection and preserve the tooth's structure.

When it comes to restoring your child's smile, tooth extractions are reserved as a last resort. We always strive to restore damaged teeth through other treatments whenever possible. But sometimes, an extraction is the best choice to get your child’s smile back on track. An extraction can eliminate your child’s discomfort, prevent further complications, and get them back to their normal, day-to-day routine. And with gentle techniques and sedation options, extractions can be quick and pain-free!

As your child grows, their baby teeth are destined to fall out to make room for their adult counterparts. But when they fall out too early, it can heighten the risk for orthodontic complications later on. We want your child to thrive, which is why we offer space maintenance, a solution that keeps your child's teeth from shifting and having misalignment issues as they erupt. If you are concerned about your child's baby teeth falling out, we can help them get a lifetime of healthy smiles.

If you are struggling with breastfeeding, you are not alone! When a child has extra tissue in their frenulum it decreases mobility. Luckily, this is an easy fix. Frenectomies can be a great solution to help you and your newborn thrive. If your doctor recommends a frenectomy, it's because they deem it necessary to improve your baby's quality of life. And while any surgical procedure can sound scary, frenectomies are a simple and painless procedure that can solve a complex problem.
