What to do when you lose a filling, how to use temporary dental filling material.

[@marigold973]

Thank you for the helpful and nonjudgmental presentation. I face several obstacles to proper dental care and the temporary kits are all I have to treat myself at all. The alternative is an open cavity with pain. It's easy for some to say "You've got to see someone!" With cash at hand, maybe they can walk in and receive the best care. For the rest of us, these kits are life savers. Thank you for guidance during difficult times!

[@llaquis]

thank you so much for clarifying that it is indeed safe to use dental repair kits! my cavity filling came out last night during dinner and has been giving me discomfort, i called my dentist right away but they only have available appointments a month out so this is definitely a life saver!! i will be buying a pack so i can eat more comfortably

[@bryang3635]

This is definitely a helpful video and a must have when traveling, especially if you are on a cruise. This is definitely a very helpful video and this is only to provide short term relief and buy time. I strongly recommend calling your dentist and setting up an appointment to get it checked out, possibly x-rayed, and permanently fixed and make sure there is no decay under that temporary filling or crown. The only way to remove decay from a cavity is the dentist will have to numb the tooth and remove the decay with a drill, then apply a filling or a crown after. Also, one common reason a filling or a crown can fall out is because of recurrent decay under the filling or crown that fell out and this could cause result in the tooth needing a crown or even a root canal and this is also one reason why it is extremely important to get to the dentist ASAP if you have to use this product.

Thank you for your video! My filling of tooth #19 (next to tooth #20), was slightly loose and I scheduled a dentist appointment (new dental practice after the pandemic, and my old dentist retiring). Two days before my appointment, the filling came out during flossing, and the new dentist called in sick that week and on vacation the following. I was able to find a different dentist, however watching your video gave me peace of mind that if I did not find a good dentist within the same week, there was a back up plan. What also helped is that my tooth situation looked very similar to the example in your video. My tooth did not hurt after the filling fell out, and it was not sensitive to hot or cold. I cleaned the hole between the teeth, after every meal. I purchased Dentemp from the local CVS (CVS did not carry the 3M ESPE Cavit G, and it would have taken a week for Amazon to deliver). I did not end up using the Dentemp, as I was able to see a dentist within 3 days of the filling falling out, and got a new filling. But again, I had a back up plan and a peace of mind. Thank you.

Roll up into small ball, lick it, and press it onto tooth with finger. I find too much spit makes it disintegrate in your mouth and leaves white residue on your tongue. Once you got it fitted, keep your mouth open for at least a half hr, avoid liquids and food...don't spit!

If your crown has a pocket in it, be careful not to put too much in that hole. I think I overdid it and the tooth didn't sit right now I dont think I can get it out and I cant bite down with any other teeth as that bad tooth is sitting a hair high.

[@WeekendsOutsideFL]

These instructions seem helpful. I had a filling fall out not once but twice. The first time they got me in that morning. The second time they were booked up fully and I haven’t gotten in yet. I’ve used this stuff in the past but it usually wouldn’t last long because I was trying to repair a cavity not a lost filling, which of course if it’s a untreated cavity no good can come from this. But for lost filling it can hold up for a couple weeks I suppose

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

It works to temporarily recement crowns too. I had a patient in this past week who had a crown come out a few weeks ago. He used the dentek material to recement the crown and it held until I was able to see him.

[@topperdude2007]

@Very Nice Smile Dental Thanks for the video. I have a tooth that had root canal work done 30yrs or so back. The original crown fell off~20 yrs ago and my local dentist put it back in and this has repeated roughly once every 10yrs or so. The current crown last came off around 10yrs ago. At that time, I had moved and went to a new dentist who indicated that the post and other "scaffolding (?)" seemed in decent shape so he said let's just try to put the cement in. That lasted 10yrs or so before the crown came off today while eating rice (off all things, i.e. nothing hard). Picked up the product in this video and then found your video while searching how to use it. I have traveled across the country and when I called the emergency line of dentists in this area, I was told the line is for established patients only. Unfortunately, the Airbnb I am staying at does not have the tools mentioned in this video except maybe the cotton. So hoping to a) clean the inside of the crown as much as I can with my oral-b electric toothbrush's circular head but not sure if I should use that to clean inside the root canal cavity? b) so wondering if just swishing with cold water might be effective in cleaning that cavity? And finally, c) thinking might use gauze to help clamp down (didn't find temporary mouthguard)? Thank you for any additional tips in advance.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Sorry to hear about your situation. Make sure to test fit the crown before you use the temporary material. Clean out the inside of the crown as best you can first. You can also use your toothbrush to clean your tooth before you put the crown back on. If the crown doesn't fit properly or if it is very loose, don't use the temporary material and see a dentist as soon as you can. Thank you very much for watching.

Hi, whether or not the material stays in place depends on the tooth. There are situations in which even a filling placed by a dentist won't stay in place. Who's covering emergencies for your dentist?

A crown fell off but no area dentist has appointments for a few weeks. If the DenTek holds up, would it be unsafe to use it until then? 2. Why do the directions to secure loose crowns, etc. say rinse the tooth and crown area "and do not dry?" Isn't being dry the key to a secure bond? Thanks!

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

1. If the crown stays in place, then yes you should be ok. 2. the material sets up when exposed to moisture. You won't be able to thoroughly dry off the tooth at home so it's not an issue. It's not easy to place the material in a puddle of saliva. The material doesn't bond to the tooth at all, it's held in by the undercuts in the hole (think of a dovetail cabinet joint).

[@minuetto22]

Thank you for the detail! I would really appreciate if you can provide some guidance to me. Actually quarter part of the 2nd molar on left lower side came out last night. I am actually waiting to get my 2nd dose of the vaccine which may take a month or so and until then I want to wait to see the dentist until then. So I want to find out if I apply this on the broken part of the tooth, for how long I can keep it on. I have filling there as well. I would really appreciate if you guide me on this.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

The material itself can easily last a few months, but it depends on the shape of the broken part of the tooth. The material will stay in place better if the missing part of the tooth is cupped out. If the missing part is very flat or smooth, the material may not stay in place well. Thank you very much for watching.

Every time I chew on my top molar the food seems to gets trapped in the cavity or something and my gums swell and it's painful. But it's a soreness kind of pain. Doesn't seem cavity related. I've had plenty of cavities and root canals and I've never experienced pain that only happens when I chew. So I just don't know what to think. But if I do in fact need a root canal, can I fill the cavity with dentek until I get it done or is that only for small cavities?

It depends on the shape of the cavity. From what you are describing it sounds like food is getting stuck under the gums when you eat, which can happen if you have a cavity or lost a filling.

Don't worry about over drying the tooth, you won't be able to at home. Plus it's not easy working in a puddle of saliva. Thank you very much for watching.

I'm waiting for a RCT and have a huge cavity that exposes the root. Is this safe to use?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Yes it should be, but do see your dentist as soon as you can to get the root canal and the cavity treated. Thank you very much for watching!

[@abcxyz-xu5ur]

Hi! I was eating cereal and my cavity filling broke off and the hole is a bit big but not very large. The tooth with the cavity filling was at risk of getting a root canal because it was so decayed. I just ordered this temporary fix until I could see my dentist next week so I was just wondering how to remove the product. Do i have to wait until it comes off or is there something I need to do to remove it?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, your dentist will be able to easily remove the temporary filling material when you see them.

[@Truebot2000]

i had a root canal done on one tooth and my dad didn't take me back to get it permanently fixed. yesterday the temporary filling fell out and now i'm waiting to see a dentist again. the only thing in the tooth is some cotton-type material they put in it. can or should i use this to fill the root canal?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, using this material won't hurt, but see your dentist as soon as you can. Leaving the cotton exposed can introduce bacteria back into the root canal, which can re-infect it.

[@sheilamorton5352]

Thank you so much!! I can't afford to go to dentist.

[@dimplemasher6647]

pls make video on front missing tooth ..to make it at home and also how long can we keep it and can we eat and drink with that home made tooth

[@mirandabby22]

This is a good idea!!

[@markurquhart7046]

I am a bit confused because the instructions on the package say to rinse and "do not dry" the tooth and cap. Your instructions indicate to dry it. Which one is the best?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, it's difficult to work in a puddle of saliva. Drying the tooth with some cotton will still allow the tooth to be moist enough for the material to set.

[@jcleon222]

I am not sure if you might see this, but do dentists generally charge you to get your temporary filling removed?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, it depends on the office. In my office I would not have a separate fee to remove the temporary filling. That would be included in what ever you decide to do.

Hello Doc. I have had a root canal and currently have temp filling. I won't be able to get my crown done till a 3- 4 months later. Can I use this on top of my temp filling to strengthen it to last longer or if any of it comes off. Thank you in advance !

[@jacareyhall1095]

Same here bro

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Yes you can use this material if some of the temporary material wears down. Avoid biting down on the root canaled tooth (I'm assuming it's a back tooth) until you get the crown, the tooth is weakened after having the root canal.

Yesterday (Fri) my filling came out on the underside of a top front tooth. My regular dentist was not in the office and not expected back until Monday. I saw this product at Walmart and bought it. It's still unopened because I'm not sure if I can do it correctly since I'm unable to see the cavity. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, you can attempt it with a small mirror or ask a family member to help.

I bought today vladmiva metarial for temporary fillings. But when I used it, it didn't dry on my mouth! is there any special way for dry it? It didn't harden.

My tooth chipped on the inside of my mouth where the tongue is. its about the size of the tip on a sharpend pencil break that off and thats the size that broke my dentist is booked till August 16th can i use this as a sub because the tooth is cutting my tongue its between tooth 29 and 30. The top of the tooth is still fine and the bottom is fine its the middle of the tooth thats chipped/broke off. Is this safe to use or will it cause an infection?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

You should be able to use this temporary material to fill the space until you can see your dentist.

[@mirandabby22]

Ok did you end up using it? If so.. did it cause pain when you placed the temp filling material?

[@musicmix1018]

@@mirandabby22 I did use it and it didn't cause pain when installing it. But i did still receive some pain from the nerve of the tooth under the filling here and there. But oragel worked or other items that contain the 20%Benzocaine. But the pain was alot worse without the filling due to it being exposed to food and beverages that get inside the tooth.

[@alexandreaharrington3246]

I have a temporary crown, my appointment to have the permanent put in, is in 2 weeks. My temp just refuses to stay. I think imma just stick to putting the temp on until my permanent comes in. Hopefully that sticks.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

If your temp crown came off, give your dentist a call so they know what is going on. In some cases I will have the person come in to make a new temporary, other times it may be okay to wait till the final crown is ready. Let them know so they can make the call, that way if there is an issue, it's on them, not on you.

Considering I wanna go as far as I can on my destroyed shrapnel. I mean teeth. And I use this to pull out an exposed root?

Can I use this for a week? My dentist is on vacation for a week and I can't get in to see her and my filling fell out

It may work, it may not. It depends on the size and shape of the hole where the filling was.

[@kurtesposito4442]

My teeth literally rotted away from the inside out from heavy chemo and a lot of radiation for cancer and a lot of them broke. The good thing I guess was there was no pain when they broke because all the nerves were dead. I really need dentures but can't afford them right now. My problem is that I have one very sharp tooth on the left side of my mouth. It is basically flat with the gum except for a Sharp point near my tongue. Another thing the cancer treatment gave me was tardive diskenesia and when that flares up my tongue begins uncontrollable movements and gets all cut up. So, long story short, would this product work to build up behind what's left of the tooth and cover the sharp part or can you recommend something else?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

It might help your situation. You could also try dental wax. Can you see a dentist to get the sharp point filed down?

My husband is bed-bound and can't get to his dentist. There are no mobile dentists in our area. Two crowns have fallen off. So I tried using this method to at least make the remaining part of the teeth more comfortable, less rough. So far no luck. The material just sticks to my finger or the applicator and nothing stays on the teeth more than a minute. After he closes his mouth it all comes off his teeth. Trying to find a way to get him to the dentist as this has been bothering him for five months. His dentist recommended that we use this DenTek stuff but it's not working for us. I haven't tried to cement the crowns back on because my husband has dementia and is likely to swallow them if they get loose again. He has already swallowed a tooth from his upper denture.

Hi thank you for this video I had a root canal a month ago I have not had my post and crown part done yet, but my temporary filling is push in so deep I feel like I have a hole can I use this product to fill it temporary? My friend also gave me a package from her dentist of Kerr Temp Bond Temp cement base and a little package of Kerr Temp Bond temporary cement accelerator could I mix this and use this to fill the whole up? Or is this just used to hold a crown if it falls off

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Yes you should be able to use this material to fill in the hole. Usually the top of the temporary filling that is placed after a root canal wears away but the base is still sealed. The TempBond cement is too thin a material to fill the hole. Just use the temporary filling material instead. Thank you very much for watching.
