Tooth decay: Once these is tooth decay it needs to be treated. The main thing is prevention of decay with good diet, no sippy cups, and brushing the teeth twice a day. Xylitol has been shown to decrease decay in kids.

See a pedodontist: Pediatric dentists are specially trained to handle problems particular to children. Not only they have extra years of training but their offices have an atmosphere conducive to children. Tooth decay in baby teeth needs to be addressed, as decayed teeth and treated by a dentist.
