A. There are several options when it comes to treating cavities in toddlers. If the decay isn't advanced, a dentist may suggest monitoring the tooth and following good dental hygiene to see if the decay reverses. A professional fluoride treatment can also help reverse the early decay by restoring tooth enamel.
