Go for refill if it is back (posterior) teeth and wait for one year if it is front teeth then get extraction.

Child teeth have to be preserved till new set of teeth grows. Otherwise there is no alignment of teeth.

I think you should get a filling done and save the teeth. As early removal of primary or milk teeth may cause improper alignment of permanent teeth.
