    Dd had a brown spot on her back molar, but it wasn't a hole, it was where the enamel hadn't mineralized.
    The dentist put some white stuff over it that hardened like a filling, but no drilling required.
    Good luck

    Yes my DD1 had a hole in her back molar too and had a filling - she had just turned 5. She had a needle for the anaesthetic and she handled it really well. I made sure that she was comfortable with the dentist and that the dentist was able to explain everything to her as she was doing it. Needless to say she is now much more vigilant in cleaning her teeth now!
