Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The decayed tooth can be filled with either silver amalgam(stainless steel color) or composite material(tooth color) if the decay is not involving the pulp. out of these two silver amalgam has better strength than composite but appearance wise composite gives exact tooth color. if it is front tooth go for composite, if it is back tooth then go for silver amalgam. the cost of the filling varies from 500 to 650 rupees. if the decay is involving pulp then it has to go for root canal treatment.
