Teeth problems

2016-09-03 13:19:16
Hi, I observed some dirt in my son's molars which I couldn't remove by brush.. Wanted to check if - 1) is there any reason to worry considering his age? 2) whether molars are permanent unlike milk teeth or children shed molars as well?

The picture is not very clear. Plz visit a pedodontist who'll check u r child's teeth and advice whether fillings are required. The primary molars  exfoliate but will have to be maintained in mouth till the child is 10 to 11 yrs age.
