What are teeth cavities solution
I am a 32-year-old woman and my 4-year-old son has cavities on his teeth already. Although it is his milk teeth, it is not a very nice thing to have cavities in them. What are the teeth cavities solutions and how do I deal with this now. He is a little kid and I can’t have him go through painful dental procedures. What can I do at home to treat him?

Hello,
Best thing you can do to your kid is provide a proper treatment and not worsen the situation for your kid due to your fears. Dental treatment procedures are not painful once the approach is right and treated intially. Please do not take decisions on your own without a proper scientific understanding of the situation. Please do get your kid treated with a pedodontist who are trained for treating kids.
Second a decay once started cannot be healed or taken care at home it requires a dental care in a dental clinic.
Third yes ur kid is very young and a decay be it a milk tooth or permanent should be treated. Please get a diet counselling done and ask for change of tooth paste and brushing habits from your dentist.
Next Steps
visit a pedodontist

Milk teeth also fall completely only by 11-12 years of age when the last milk teeth falls. Therefore these teeth may be there for a long time as your son is only 4 years old. If the cavities are very small and in the front teeth which will fall by 6 years of age then your dentist may not do anything. But if the cavities are in the back teeth then they must be filled as these teeth may be there till 10-12 years of age. If cavities are small the filling is a painless procedure. Don’t wait too long as then it may become painful. Consult a good dentist near you
Health Tips
