My breastfed 2year old has got tooth decay, should l be worried ?

Yes: Tooth decay is a significant health risk. If the baby teeth are lost the spacing for adult teeth will change. Other health risks are also amplified. Please see a pediatric dentist as soon as possible. Restoration can help move the kid into a better state.

Concerned, yes.: Although the primary teeth will eventually be lost, they provide an important function in eating, speech development, and guidance for the eruption of the secondary teeth. Take your child to a pediatric dentist for an evaluation and restorations, learn how to brush/clean their teeth for them, and stop any nighttime bottles if they are being given.
