The choice of filling is decided by the dentist depending on cavity location, size and other factors . GIC may not be the wrong choice. Other available filling materials are Composites ,Silver amalgam.

Not a problem with gic fillings ...
I think they were deep cavities so she must ha e put gic fillings ...
You can go for a sandwich technique where a composite is layered on the gic filling but that is after 5 months
