With your support, Brayan received the treatment, comfort, and coaching to restore his smile and build healthy habits.
Patient Snapshot
Brayan is an 11‑year‑old who needed multiple restorations and preventive treatments. To ensure a calm, pain‑managed experience, nitrous oxide was used during restorative visits. Comprehensive hygiene care and ongoing education help reinforce new daily habits at home.
Care Delivered
Over the course of his visits, Brayan completed a full exam, diagnostic X‑rays, and a cleaning with our hygienist. Using nitrous oxide for comfort, he received eight fillings including four on his front teeth and restorative dentistry to cover previous decay. To stop cavities in their tracks, he also received three rounds of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF).
“We’re so grateful for the care and the way the team took time to teach us how to keep Brayan’s teeth healthy. He smiles so much more now.”
Healthy Habits at Home
Together with his mom, Brayan is learning to brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, floss every day, and choose a balanced, low‑sugar diet. Our team provided simple routines and take‑home tips to make these habits stick.
