Take her to the Dentist.. also ask for PIT & FISSURE SEALANTS..this saves u money in the future and most important ur baby's teeth are safe. Most important is Brushing Twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste!

You should definitely take her to the dentist as it is infected. The pain in rooth is indicating tooth infection and take her to the dentist before the infection spreds causing swelling in gums.

Why would you let a disease progress and eat away the tooth structure of your child???
It is not going to heal on its own and the symptoms can aggravate further without treatment.
So please consult a pedodontist as soon as possible and get these cavities filled appropriately. Milk teeth will be shed in the future but maintaining them in a healthy state till that time is very very important for multiple reasons.
Regards.
