A decayed baby tooth had the child regularly complaining of pain when eating sweets. The parent was unsure whether to fill the baby tooth or wait until it fell out naturally.
Why It Needs to Be Dealt With Early
The doctor explained that an untreated decayed baby tooth can affect the permanent tooth that erupts later, as well as causing pain and affecting the child's eating.
The Child Cooperated Well Throughout
Thanks to a gentle approach and well-timed reassurance, the child cooperated well throughout the filling. The parent felt much more confident about the child's oral care from then on.
