Kids Tooth Team Michigan provides gentle, tooth-colored dental fillings for children throughout Fenton and the Southern Lakes area. When your child has a cavity, our board-certified pediatric dentists treat it in a single visit using composite resin that is strong, natural-looking, and completely metal-free. We serve families throughout Fenton, Lake Fenton, Linden, Holly, Grand Blanc, Hartland, Argentine Township, Tyrone Township, and the broader Genesee County area.
A dental filling restores a tooth damaged by decay by removing the decayed material and replacing it with a durable restoration that brings the tooth back to its original shape and function. At our Fenton office, we use only tooth-colored composite resin. Composite bonds directly to the tooth, provides a tight seal against bacteria, and matches the surrounding enamel so naturally that the restoration is virtually undetectable. It is the standard we hold at every Kids Tooth Team Michigan location, without exception.
Cavities do not heal on their own and they do not stay small. A cavity treated early at our Fenton office is a quick, low-stress appointment. That same cavity left for several months can spread to the nerve, require a crown or nerve treatment, and cause your child real pain. Acting promptly makes all the difference.
Tooth-colored composite bonds directly to the tooth structure, requiring less removal of healthy enamel during preparation than traditional silver fillings. The bond also reinforces the tooth itself, making composite a more conservative and structurally supportive restoration than amalgam in any form.
Most filling appointments at our Fenton office are completed start to finish in a single visit. We numb the area, remove the decay, and place the filling in carefully cured layers. Efficient and predictable, with no second appointment needed for most cases.
Every filling visit includes a review of your child's overall cavity risk. Before you leave, we let you know whether any preventive treatments like sealants or fluoride applications could help protect the remaining teeth and reduce the likelihood of new cavities forming.

Kids Tooth Team Michigan does not use silver amalgam fillings at our Fenton office or anywhere else. Composite resin is our only filling material, chosen because it is safe, mercury-free, strong, and completely natural-looking. Fenton families and families from across Genesee County can expect the same high standard of materials and technique at every visit.
Fillings work best for cavities that are small to moderate in size and have not yet reached the nerve. Our Fenton doctors use digital X-rays and a careful clinical exam to evaluate each tooth individually. When a cavity is more extensive, a crown may provide a more reliable long-term result. We walk you through the reasoning behind every recommendation before scheduling any treatment.
Our Fenton team removes only decayed material, preserving as much of the natural tooth as possible. Composite is applied in precise layers, each shaped to follow the natural contour of the tooth and hardened with a UV curing light. The finished restoration fits accurately, seals completely, and is designed to hold up through years of normal use.
If your child is anxious about their filling, nitrous oxide is available at our Fenton office to help them stay relaxed and comfortable throughout. We discuss sedation options with every family ahead of time so the appointment day holds no surprises. Many kids who have had nitrous tell us it was much easier than they expected.

We start with a topical numbing gel before administering local anesthetic so the transition to numbness is as smooth as possible. Once the area is fully numb, we remove all decayed material carefully, leaving only clean, healthy tooth structure behind. Nitrous oxide is available for children who need additional support at any point during the appointment.
Tooth-colored resin is applied in layers, each one shaped and cured with a UV light until the tooth is fully restored. We take care to match the natural contour of the tooth so the bite feels right and the restoration looks seamless. A final bite check ensures everything is properly aligned before we finish.
We cover aftercare instructions with every family before leaving our Fenton office, including how long numbness will last, what your child should avoid eating for the first few hours, and what is normal to experience afterward. We also flag any preventive follow-up worth discussing at the next visit.

In most cases, yes. Baby teeth remain in use until age eleven or twelve and play a critical role in chewing, speech, and guiding permanent teeth into position. An untreated cavity in a baby tooth can spread quickly, become infected, and affect the permanent tooth developing below it. Treating it early at our Fenton office is always the safer and more cost-effective choice.
Early cavities often produce no symptoms, which is why routine visits matter so much. As decay progresses, watch for dark or white spots on the teeth, sensitivity to sweets or temperature, visible pitting in the enamel, or your child complaining of pain while eating. If you notice any of these, call our Fenton office promptly.
No. Kids Tooth Team Michigan uses only tooth-colored composite resin fillings at our Fenton location. No silver, no amalgam, no exceptions.
No. Composite resin is matched to the shade of the surrounding tooth so the filling blends in naturally. Once the appointment is complete, the restoration is virtually undetectable.
Most appointments are completed in 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the cavity and the number of teeth being treated. We work efficiently while keeping your child comfortable and unhurried throughout.
Yes. We work with Fenton families to minimize school disruption whenever possible. Early morning appointments work well for many families, and our team is happy to help you find a time that fits your schedule.
