Please share some pictures for further information. Silver diamine fluoride is good option if the child is not cooperating.

I'm assuming this is for his front teeth. The other option would be to get a cap-either strip crown or zirconia, but they require the child's cooperation. If your son is very young or is unable to cooperate for treatment, silver diamond fluoride is a very good option to stop the decay process.
