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 , if your child is cooperative then you don't need to get the treatment done under conscious sedation... usually for filling we don't give local Anesthesia .. if it's a Pulpectomy then local Anesthesia will be required .. usually kids are cooperative at this age and can be managed with local Anesthesia ... would advice you go with tooth coloured composite filling than going for a silver filling
