My 5 year old daughter has one decayed molar. Will it fall off like other milk teeth or the tooth that will come will also be germ infected?

if the molar is decaying, it is best to get it out by the dentist and not wait for it to fall of on its own. sometimes, if the infection runs deep, it could affect the roots deep inside, and cause severe pain and more infection. do visit a dentist ASAP and also show your kid why it is so important to take good care of teeth and gums. also cut down on sweet intake and make sure she brushes twice a day

If it's decaying, best to seek dental advice from a dentist. Decaying teeth might not only need extraction but the gums and surrounding teeth might need a thorough cleaning. The dentist will also advise your daughter accordingly how to take care of her teeth better :)

A decayed tooth causes a lot of pain. Your little one must be in pain now. Don't wait for it to fall off. Go to a dentist and seek her consultation. A decayed tooth decays its neighboring teeth as well. Better to get it extracted.

Seek immediate consultation of a dentist. The decayed molar may decay other teeth as well. Earlier the intervention the better!
