Tooth decay is rather common in kids as we know kids are nowadays have become soo notorious, every kid is fond of chocolates, ice cream, jams, cookies, cupcakes, sugared cereals and donates, etc. these are the main source to cause caries.
Generally, people know caries as cavities but they are not cavity i.e. caries.
To prevent our kid's teeth from caries every parent should follow excellent oral hygiene and diet as follows-

Tooth decay cavity filling
Baby teeth fillings are made out of white composite or metal. Generally, people choose metal composite because they are less expensive and are easy, quick to fill but children don't like metal composite as they are aesthetically not good. So mostly children select white composite for filling.
The dentist drills the damaged part of the teeth due to caries as much required and forms a cavity for filling, then the dentist fills the cavity and makes the crown properly. Then after restoration kids have to follow good oral hygiene.
Though your dentist works very hard to remove all the damaged part or caries but sometimes due to some faults remains of caries left inside the teeth can cause reoccurrence of caries or incorrectly shaped tooth can also cause this.
