Safe, Mercury-Free White Fillings for Your Child's Smile at Village Dental Group
When your child has a cavity, you want a treatment that’s both effective and safe. At Village Dental Group in Anaheim, we treat every child’s cavity with tooth-colored composite fillings — never amalgam. Our white fillings contain no mercury, blend naturally with your child’s teeth, and are placed gently by Dr. Ahmed Rabie in a calm, kid-friendly way.
Most children’s fillings are completed in a single, quick visit — so your child can get back to school, play, and everyday life the same day.
Signs Your Child May Have a Cavity
Complaints of tooth pain
Especially while eating or drinking something hot, cold, or sweet
Visible white, brown, or black spots
Discoloration appearing anywhere on a tooth
Small holes or pits
Visible on the chewing surface of a tooth
Avoiding chewing on one side
Your child favoring one side of their mouth
Bad breath
That doesn't improve with brushing
Food trapping in the same spot
Repeatedly getting stuck in one area
Regular checkups every six months are the best way to catch cavities early — often before your child even notices anything is wrong. Dr. Rabie can frequently treat small cavities with a simple filling before they progress into something requiring more involved treatment.
Why Village Dental Group Uses No Amalgam Fillings for Children
Amalgam fillings — the traditional silver-colored fillings — contain a small amount of mercury bound within a metal alloy. While the FDA and American Dental Association have long considered amalgam safe for most patients, many parents today prefer a mercury-free option for their children, and modern composite materials make that easy.
At Village Dental Group, every filling we place for children is 100% amalgam-free. Here’s why we’ve made composite our standard for kids:
- No mercury — our white fillings are made entirely from a tooth-colored resin material, with zero mercury content
- Less tooth removal — composite bonds directly to the tooth, often meaning less healthy tooth needs to be removed
- Blends naturally — white fillings match your child's tooth color, treating cavities discreetly, even on visible front teeth
- Sets quickly — composite hardens under a curing light in seconds, keeping appointments short for kids
We believe parents shouldn’t have to choose between effective cavity treatment and peace of mind. With composite fillings, you get both.

Yes. The composite material we use for every child’s filling contains zero mercury. Unlike traditional amalgam (silver) fillings, which contain a small amount of mercury bound in a metal alloy, our white fillings are made entirely from a tooth-colored resin. Village Dental Group does not place amalgam fillings for children.
Yes. Composite fillings are widely used and considered safe and effective for treating cavities in both baby (primary) and permanent teeth. They bond directly to the tooth and typically require removing less healthy tooth structure than older filling methods.
We use a topical numbing gel followed by local anesthesia, so your child should not feel pain during the procedure. Dr. Rabie and our team take extra time to keep young patients calm and comfortable, checking in throughout the visit.
With good oral hygiene, children’s composite fillings typically last for many years — often until the baby tooth naturally falls out. Dr. Rabie checks the condition of your child’s fillings at each regular checkup.
Cost depends on the size of the cavity and the number of teeth being treated. Many dental insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, cover a portion of children’s filling procedures. Call (714) 535-7500 for a personalized estimate — we verify your coverage before the appointment at no charge.
Most children’s fillings take 20–30 minutes per tooth and are completed in a single visit.
