I have insects in my 6-7 teeth so I put temporary filling(kaccha masala) by doctor before 1 year. Now should I have to change fillings and is it any permanent solution of it??

Temporary fillings are temporary. Get permanent fillings done. If it is too deep, you can go for root canal treatment and crown

No dear the insects u r talking about is called cavity its a bacterial infection invisible to eyes,and the kaccha masala is called dental cement at first u get the x-ray done and let ur dentist decide the diagnosis now and if cavity is not much deep then u can proceed further for permanent filling.and if it has gone beyond the pulp then u have to get it treated by RCT.

Temporary fillings are given that name for a purpose, and you are lucky that they have survived for such a long duration. They do not provide the perfect marginal seal as a permanent filling and the teeth always run a risk of Re Cavitation and appearance of symptoms like pain or discomfort. You should definitely plan a visit to the dentist as soon as possible and get these fillings replaced by permanent tooth coloured composite restorations. Regards.
