Should A Child's Cavity Be Filled With A White Filling Or Silver Filling?
My son is 4 years old and has 6 cavities (molars). I've taken him to the dentist since he was 1, however, since they never took pictures of his molars, we never knew he had cavities till our last visit. First of all, should i go ahead with my son receiving fill in and if I do, I'm thinking for 6 teeth, maybe I should go with white filling vs. silver filling?

You should go for filling because there are still a minimum of 2 years left before eruption of permanent teeth. Go for white filling in teeth.
