Suggestion
I went to a dentist for cavity of 3 teeth and pain in between two teeth.. He did Gic interim filling, said it will release fluoride for the next 6 months and told me after 6 months he will do composite fillings.
He also insisted that I do amalgam fillings but I was afraid of mercury toxicity. He also said there is also the possibility of leakage in composite filling....
Attached prescription. He also gave me sensodent k mouthwash for pain.
Pls give me any helpful suggestions, is this the right way to treat.

Hello Mr Sourav Chatterjee ,
Till a dentist analyzes a tooth clinically and then correlates it with an x ray , a correct treatment plan cannot be chalked out. Also , the patien'ts history ( that is symptoms) have to be taken into account .
Sometimes there may be more than one way to treat a particular tooth.
Pls do visit us if you would like a genuine second opinion.
Would be happy to help.
