Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

Please recheck with your dentist about the material used for filling the tooth.Most of the restorative cements are bio compatible and user friendly.Thus they do not cause odor or irritation.In any case if you are allergic to peroxide then you must see your dentist and discuss regarding this.An alternative material could be used.Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bitterness in mouth after filling with benzyl peroxide is because of the benzyl peroxide. It will be there for 3-4 days and later it returns to normal.You can do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
