Decay teeth can be filled, if it is not deep enough... Tooth colored filling can be done.. Consult your Dentist... The charges for filling differs depending on so many factors... Do the filling as soon as possible because if it goes deep, no filling can be done and may require Root Canal Treatment..

If there is no pain in your teeth then go for composite filling. This is tooth color material.
