It is rampant caries. Even lower front teeth are affected. Due to breast feeding at night, sweetened syrups and lack of oral hygiene.
Next Steps
brushing twice a day. it's very important to brush before sleep. it is adviced to give plain water after sugary syrups.
Health Tips
visit nearby dentist for filling and regularly check up every 3months.

This type of decay is mostly seen in children upto 70 months of age . Please keep a check on the dietary habit of the child since it is because of poor oral hygiene

bottle feeding should be discouraged
unrestricted intake of sugary products should not be encouraged .

keep a check on your child teeth
visit to the near by Dentist so that restoration of the cavities can be done .
