The answer

There is no harm in going to the doctor and undergoing the fillings and treatments mentioned during the day in Ramadan, provided one avoids intentionally swallowing anything that invalidates the fast. If something inadvertently reaches the throat without intention, the fast is not invalidated thereby.
