You should not wait for the permanent to get the treatment. As these teeth erupt at approx age of 6-7 years and moreover the infection from these teeth can spread to the permanent teeth. Get paediatric dentist consultation and get the immediate treatment for your kid.

Primary teeth a important role in child’s overall development like chewing, phonetics, Aesthetics, psychological, etc. It’s important to save the teeth until suitable permanent teeth erupts. Visit a Pediatric dentist and treat it as early as possible before further damage.
