My 3 year old needs 3 tooth fillings.i'm leary about procedures with her that little.wont the teeth fall out anyway orcan i wait until she gets older?

Complex issue: You might assume these are throw away teeth and fillings are a waste.However,a baby's dental health plays into her overall health.First, the baby teeth hold the spacing for the adult teeth to follow & decay/loss can lead to crowding later.Decay & the chronic inflammation that goes with it can make her more likely to get ill. In my state the poor get state funded dental care from age 6m.

Dental Caries: It is unfortunate that your daughter has cavities, but they unfortunately will need to be restored sooner than later. The teeth that are involved may not exfoliate for another four to seven years... the cavities will have destroyed her primary teeth long before then, resulting in speech problems, shifting of teeth, and self esteem issues. Have a pediatric dentist restore them now.

Please get help: Cavities are infections. Untreated they can damage adjacent baby teeth and underlying permanent teeth. Those baby teeth are guides for permanent teeth as they erupt. If they come out too soon it can be horrific. See a Dentist or a Pedodontist (pediatric dental specialist) for immediate care. Please don't neglect this important care.
