Caries spread from milk teeth to permanent teeth. Get them fixed ASAP. Soon your child will have fresh teeth at age of 6.

Your thinking is right. After the age of 7 years there will be mixed dentition(milk as well as permanent). You need to care of that black caries otherwise it spread in to permenat also. Permenat which erupts in mouth with decideous is at risk. Permenant which below that carious teeth is at lowest risk.
