As told by the dentist your kid needs tooth filling. And its easily managed by a dentist and we do it carefully.
So get the fillings done before it goes to more time taking treatment where its more difficult for child cooperation.

Hi,
The technique that the dentist has recommended is advisable. This will help to develop a trust between your son and the dentist, which will in turn help while doing the procedure. No need to worry and do not delay in starting the treatment. Delay in treatment may lead to more invasive treatment.
