What Is Pediatric Dental bonding?

Dental bonding is done by applying a tooth-colored composite resin to your child’s tooth and hardening it into place with a specialized light. You may think of it like using a little bit of clay to patch up a broken pot, or spackle to repair a crack in a wall.

It sounds simple, but this procedure can be used to repair all kinds of small chips, cracks, or areas of discoloration on the teeth.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Pediatric Dental bonding?
