A member asked:
Which type of tooth filling is best for a 4-year-old?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Types of fillings: The best type of filling for a 4 year old would be a properly placed and restored one by a competent dentist, preferably a Pedodontist. Amalgam fillings and composite fillings are both acceptable. Your own dentist can determine what he\she feels would be the best one to use depending upon the individual circumstances.

See a pedodontist: If the tooth can be restored with filling, the pedodontist will discuss your options for filling materials.
