Hi
Not to worry about this, it can be restored back, you can visit your nearby pediatric dentist will be able to guide you. At 1.5years age child won't co-operate fo treatment will need to go for preventive care rather then filling the cavity, early age cavity reason is bottle feeding you can search literature on Early childhood caries (ECC). For same can visit our website as well www.vibgyordentalclinic.in
