When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

It really depends on the extent of the decay. If at all possible the teeth should be restored because they help maintain the spaces until the grown-up teeth are ready to come in. Premature loss of the baby teeth can also lead to shifts of the dental midline ( the line between the two central incisors) which is esthetically very undesireable. There are many options for restoring the teeth; anything from tooth colored fillings to tooth colored crowns, but this is also dependent on the amount of tooth destruction that has occured. To prevent this from recurring, or happenning with other teeth, close attention should be payed to the child''''''''s diet, as this is almost certainly the cause of the problem. Keep the amount of refined sugar in his food and drink to a minimum and also avoid prolonged exposure to acidic beverages. Good luck.
