Gentle, tooth colored fillings that treat cavities and get your child back to smiling, eating, and playing with comfort.
Cavities happen, even to kids who brush well. When they do, your child deserves care that feels calm rather than scary. At Sensory Smiles Children’s Dentistry, Dr. Sara El-Sherbini treats cavities with gentle, tooth colored fillings in a sensory friendly setting, so your child stays comfortable from the first hello to the final high five.

Exam, cleaning, and X-rays
A small cavity rarely stays small. Left alone, decay spreads deeper into the tooth and can reach the nerve, which leads to pain, infection, and more involved treatment down the road. Treating a cavity early with a simple filling stops decay in its tracks, protects the tooth, and spares your child discomfort later.
Even baby teeth matter here. They hold space for the adult teeth coming in behind them, they support healthy speech and chewing, and they guide your child’s smile as it develops. Caring for them well sets your child up for a healthier smile for years to come.
We keep the whole process gentle, clear, and quick. Here is how we care for your child’s cavity from start to finish.
First, Dr. Sara examines the tooth and reviews any X-rays to understand the size and depth of the cavity. She explains what she sees in simple terms, so you and your child both know exactly what comes next.
We gently numb the area and use comfort focused techniques that keep your child relaxed. Dr. Sara removes the decay carefully, then cleans the tooth so it is ready for the filling.
We fill the tooth with a white, tooth colored material that blends right into your child’s smile. Our fillings are BPA free and biocompatible, so you can feel good about what goes into your child’s mouth. No dark metal, and no worry.
We shape and polish the filling so your child’s bite feels natural, then send you home with easy aftercare tips. Most kids get right back to eating and playing the very same day.
Every visit should feel calm, not overwhelming. As the sensory inclusive certified pediatric practice families across Rancho Cucamonga trust, we designed each part of the experience around your child’s comfort. Whether your child is an anxious toddler, a curious teen, or a child with sensory sensitivities or special needs, we meet them exactly where they are.
We know dental work can feel like a big deal for a child, so we slow everything down. Before we begin, we explain each step in friendly language and let your child ask questions and feel in control. During treatment, ceiling mounted TVs, headphones, and comfort items help your child relax, and we pause for a break whenever they need one.
Dr. Sara reads your child’s cues closely and adjusts the pace to match. Our goal is simple. We want your child to leave feeling proud, not frightened, so that dental care stays a positive part of their life.
Sometimes a cavity is easy to spot, and sometimes it hides. Bring your child in if you notice a toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, a visible spot or hole in a tooth, or discomfort while chewing.
Often, though, we catch cavities early during a routine exam, before your child ever feels a thing. That is one more reason regular checkups matter so much. If it has been a while since your child’s last visit, reach out and we will take a gentle look.
Located in Rancho Cucamonga, we proudly welcome families from across the Inland Empire, including Fontana, Rialto, Upland, and the surrounding communities. Parents choose us because we blend genuine warmth with real expertise, and because every child feels seen and supported the moment they walk through our doors.

Real words from parents who trust us with their children’s smiles.
No. We gently numb the area first and use comfort focused techniques throughout, so your child stays relaxed. Most kids are surprised by how easy the whole visit feels.
Yes. We use white, tooth colored fillings that are BPA free and biocompatible, with no metal and no mercury. They look natural and support your child’s healthy development.
Baby teeth do important work. They hold space for adult teeth, support speech and chewing, and guide your child’s smile. Treating decay early prevents pain and protects the adult teeth forming underneath.
Most fillings take just one short, comfortable visit. Dr. Sara will let you know what to expect based on your child’s specific needs.
Regular cleanings, sealants on the back molars, good brushing and flossing, and tooth friendly snacks all help. We are happy to build a simple prevention plan that fits your family.
Absolutely. As a sensory inclusive certified practice, we tailor every visit to your child’s comfort, with a quiet room, headphones, and a gentle, unhurried pace.
Whether your child has a toothache now or you simply want a comfortable place for cavity care, we would love to help. Let’s get your child’s smile healthy again, one sensory friendly step at a time.
