Fillings: Many times the best treatment is a filling, but this does not mean that is the only answer. Sometimes, of it is a baby tooth and the circumstances are right, we would remove the tooth. Other times, a Fluoride treatment can help. Most of the time it is a filling. The best treatment is prevention!

Depends: Are you asking how to fix the actual teeth or how to perform treatment on the child with regard to behavior? The process of fixing teeth is mostly the same in children and on primary teeth. With regard to behavior and cooperation, most children do just fine. If there is an issue, then one can consider nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or other forms of sedation to eliminate apprehension or fear.

Baby tooth cavities: Caused by high sugar/starch diets coupled w poor oral hygiene. Baby teeth must be flossed. Sealants plus fluoride help prevent cavities. Must brush 2x/dar for 2 full minutes, soft t'brush. pea sized portion of fluoridated t'paste & must floss daily. Regular 6mo dental check-ups will disclose early easily fixable lesions.
