Cavity filling
My daughter is soon is going to get a dental filling done for her cavities. She has one permanent and two temporary teeth that needs filling. The doctors asked me two questions : do you want your child to have a white filling or silver filling? And Do you want us to use anesthesia or nitrous oxide?
I kindly request you to answer my question as soon as possible so I can make the right decision for my daughter's problem.

Hello mam! You can get white tooth coloured fillings done. For milk teeth as well as permanent teeth. Need of anesthesia is usually decided upon the co operation level of the child during dental treatment. Usually for a 7 year old anesthesia may not be required if the cavities are not very deep and if the child is treated by a Pediatric Dentist.
Next Steps
please take her to a Pediatric Dentist who can manage the situation best.
