Thank you madam/sir for the question. Without seeing the cavities I am unfortunately unable to tell whether it needs a root canal or a simple filling. The purpose of doing a root canal in a milk tooth is preserve it till the permanent one erupts and also to allow normal speech and Jaw development to occur. You may kindly show the child if required. Thank you
