My daughter is 2.5 years old and despite regularly washing her teeth, she developed caries on the upper fours. Our dentist said that you need to be treated. Therefore, I have a question: do such small teeth need to be drilled or are there any other treatment methods? I've heard about lapping and sealing. I do not know what to do. The child is afraid and I don't want him to have any trauma for life (I did).
It is difficult for me to question the opinion of another dentist if I cannot see your daughter's teeth. Milk teeth are "drilled", but also stamped and sealed. It is difficult for me to say which method of treatment will be best in this particular case.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
