Hello Amit, Its sad that your child has so many cavities at this young age.This is I would say is of serious concern which needs proper attention and treatment. You need to visit a dentist preferably pediatric dentist so that he/she can advice you regarding the involvement of the cavities and thus a proper treatment can be rendered depending on the level of involvement of the tooth structure,which could range from a simple filling to a root canal treatment etc. Also there are various preventive and home care measures to prevent similar cavities in future which your dentist can advice you for your child.

Hello Mr. Amit, Thank you for contacting us. Considering the age of child, teeth are in very dynamics. Many teeth are at stage of falling out and others may require other treatments like filling/pulpotomy/pulpectomy. Your dentist will be best judge to decide the treatment course. Regards Dr. Vineet Kapoor Cures 'n' Care Dental Clinic

Its better to get a dental consultation regarding filling of the decayed teeth(permanent/ milk teeth) & counselling regarding his oral hygiene & dietary habits at the earliest so as to avoid future problems. Its also strongly recommended to opt for pit & fissure sealant for the permanent molars.

hi...kindly get the fillings done before they start paining and make sure proper brushing before sleep and do not let him have milk just before sleep.
