Hi Dr. Gupta I have 1 and half year old son and he has cavity in one of the left molar tooth what treatment can be done and how can I save other teeth. He brushes at night although when he goes to sleep he drinks his last milk and then go to bed. Please advice what is best treatment for him. Nurjahan Ajanee from Dhaka, Bangladesh
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The decayed tooth can be treated by restoring with glass monomer cement if the decay is not involving the pulp. If it is involving the pulp, then it can be treated endodontically (lumpectomy). Consult a Pediatric dental surgeon and take a radiograph to rule out the above said conditions. Get it filled as early as possible to prevent further complications like pain, swelling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
