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!

[@jdawg93]

Tip: don't use too much. I over filled my cavity and it caused pain. I removed some and it feels better

[@tikkilashai7477]

Definitely agree

[@Yayasoto162]

How do you remove it

[@nyccatholic2765]

How did you REMOVE the excess??

[@ToddSensmeier]

Very Carefully!!!

[@jdawg93]

Update: I recommend not using this stuff at all. It caused my cavity to get infected, which resulted in a tooth extraction. Not worth the temporary fix imo.

[@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

[@user-oq3dq4nz6e]

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.

You're welcome. If the crown won't stay in place, leave it out until you see your dentist. Sometimes the tooth under the crown breaks off and the crown won't stay on.

[@violeman]

One of my molars had a cavity then it busted away a good piece of my tooth a few months back. The center and one side is gone now & is barley above my gum line. I had no pain until about 3 weeks ago and now it is starting to get unbearable while trying to work. It will be a while before I will be able to get it fixed (because of everything going on), then stumbled across your video, while looking up some remedies to try and help. This will be a miracle if it helps & I am so blessed that you took the time for us, to explain how to use this.!! I hope it works!! Thank you very much, Sir. Greatly appreciated, especially if it helps for over this holiday season until I can get in and get it fixed.

Yeah don’t bite down right away. Let it harden a couple minutes then bite down. It came right out of my molar when I bit down right away like the instructions said. I wish I’d seen this before.

[@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.

[@tuandoole9651]

Thanks Doctor for your advice

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

You're welcome!

[@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.

[@ConversationswithCandace]

Hi! I had a root canal and temporary filling put in. All is well right now but I have to take a flight this week. Will flying affect my temporary filling? My appointment for my temporary crown isn’t until I get back next week.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

You should be fine on your flight. Thank you very much for watching!

[@darkblueismyfavoritecolor.4082]

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?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

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. Try the Dentek material and see if it helps. See your dentist as soon as possible. Thank you very much for watching!

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.

[@farihak8532]

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.

Glad I could help. The temporary material shouldn't hurt your tooth. It may help it feel better, it may make no difference at all. Mostly what it does is fill the missing space and cover any exposed dentin and it helps keep food from getting forced into the space when you chew.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, it depends on the pain. If it's a sharp pain that happens when you drink something cold, the temporary material may help. If it's a throbbing pain that's constant, the temporary material won't help.

[@dianad.5312]

I purchased this exact product in case of emergency. If a molar crown falls off of a core build, is it safe to put the product on the core build? does the product need to be burred off by dentist before a proper repair?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Yes this material is safe to use on a tooth with a core buildup. It is easy for a dentist to remove.

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

[@andrewjohnstone1165]

Hi I have just had to do this myself was wondering can it last 2months because that's when my appointment is any help appreciated thanks

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

It may last that long, it depends on the shape of the cavity in the tooth. Thank you very much for watching.

How long does " meta MD-temp hydraulic temporary restorative " take to harden? I bought before vladmiva material for temporary fillings didn't harden 🙁Are they same production!?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

I'm not familiar with either of those two brands of material. The temporary filling material is available in different consistencies for dentists. Some versions set up rock hard, some stay soft, some are in between. I believe the over the counter versions of the materials available to non-dentists are the stay soft version.

[@GhanShyam-fu9zt]

Dr. I have a little hole part of mid up side and swelling too, can I use the temp material? And how can I get it ? Please advise. Thanks

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, if you have swelling, see a dentist right away.

[@musicmix1018]

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.

[@Bodz2023]

Hi there i have a outside piece of a wisdom tooth broken off. Should i still try to temporarily fill it? It doesnt hurt

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Is it bothering you? If it's not, keep it clean and see your dentist as soon as you can.

[@marymay6761]

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.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

The material doesn't fully harden, that way it won't cause your bite to be off. Thank you very much for watching.

[@tiahanedudley4807]

Had a root canal on my lower right, front tooth about a week ago. The temporary filling fell out. Now I have this whole in my mouth. Dentist can't fit me in for an appointment until 12 days from now. He said not to put a temporary filling in on my own. What else am I supposed to do for the next 12 days? I have to try the temporary filling. Can't just leave this hole open in my mouth.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

You should be able to fill the hole with this material. It's easy to remove if you have a problem with it. Thanks very much for watching!

[@agam8752]

Can it be used when a small cavity came off and it causes pain?I can see my dentist in 6 weeks ,and am considering it.Also can I desinfect the area with hydrogen peroxide before filling?thanks

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, it depends on the type of pain. If you pain when you drink something cold, the temporary filling should help. If you have throbbing pain, the temporary filling won't help.

[@minuetto22]

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]

Thanks so much! It's wonderful to be able to get prompt responses on matters such as this.

[@mariamgregory8466]

Can you kindly explain if the filling material has Mercury, Amalgam or other hazardous material in it? Many thanks.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, there is no mercury or amalgam in this material. You can find the ingredients list on the manufacturers website here, www.dentek.com/oral-care-products/pain-relief-repair/dentek-advanced-repair#ingredients

[@jennytaylor3324]

In a bad spot, as I have lost a small piece of the outer framework of LR6 - which is heavily restored and has a vertical fracture and a dormant abscess already. The chip that's gone has left the filling still in place in the center and a sharp piece outermost, that's boring hole in my tongue. Will I be able to cover and smooth over the chip with this until I can get to my dentist?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Give it a try, the material may stay in place or it may not, it depends on the shape of the chip. Thank you very much for watching.

[@tawnywitch]

I have just done exactly the same with the tooth in the same condition as you, can't get an emergency appointment any where, ordered this from Boots for tomorrow, did you try it and did it work and if so for how long ? Thanks

[@jennytaylor3324]

@@tawnywitch I bought but didn't use the Dentemp in the end, as I snagged a dental app, and he said any temp filling could block up drainage for the abscess. If your tooth is chipped, and it's shredding your tongue, I highly recommend placing a small ball of paraffin wax over the sharp bit. I happened to have some wax ear plugs, and that worked a treat, but you can buy 'dental wax' - basically the same thing. It's designed to prevent braces rubbing in the same way.

[@LamarandLucy]

Hey I have one question how long can you keep this in

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

It's always best to see a dentist as soon as you can. How long the material stays in place will depend on the size and shape of the hole. Best case scenario it will last a few weeks.

[@m.salutes5186]

Just had a root canal , and my filling looks like it wants to give in is it safe to try to re do it with something like this?

Yes you can add to it. See your dentist as soon as you can though.

Can I use this if I just got a cavity and I can see A small little hole in a regular tooth. Its also on the front side of the tooth also

If the material stays in place you can use it. But try to see a dentist as soon as you can.

[@allthingsbeautiful_]

My dentist office is booked until July 🤦🏾‍♀️ so I’m gonna have to do this i guess, but how long does it last for it comes out/dissolves?

[@RyanPoutine]

It will not dissolve it is temporary so it will come out on its own while eating or brushing. If you go to the dentist with it like I did they have a tool that can easily get rid of it.

[@meahmeah2279]

Hello, thank you for the video. My question is, i have a loose filling on my back teeth and i cant get an appointment until 5 months. Can this product help to keep the loose filling in place?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Probably not. If the filling falls out completely you may be able to use the temporary material to fill the hole.

[@Megadino-gj3zn]

Hey there, finished putting my filling in a few mins ago. So what food counts as too hard or sticky to be chewed on?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, hard foods are things like nuts and hard bread crusts. Sticky is usually candy such as caramel or taffy.

Thanks Dr for the tip. How to use it!! 😊

[@KBMB47]

You say dry it but the instructions say make sure the surface is wet. Which is correct? Just trying to get it right. Thank you for the advice.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, there's no way you'll be able to thoroughly dry the tooth off at home. There will be sufficient moisture on the tooth to set the material. It's very difficult to place the material in a puddle of saliva.

[@OfficialCaite]

if you wear containers can you still wear your containers and while this stuff is in your mouth ?

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

If you have retainers, see your dentist as soon as you can. You might be able to still wear them when using the temporary filling material, but it depends on the design of your retainer as well as where the temporary filling is placed.

[@buumbaby]

Ive lost half a tooth and have the underlying gum (maybe the nerve) partially exposed, ive tried to get a dentist but no one is taking new patients til febuary. I tried an emergency line who said they don't have any drills but to use this product in the mean time. I just bought it but noticed it says not to use it with any throbbing pain which im currently experiencing... can i use it because its my only option right now 😭

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Throbbing pain means that either the nerve of the tooth is inflamed or the gum around the broken tooth is inflamed. It sounds like the tooth will need to be extracted. The temporary filling material won't help. Try to see a dentist as soon as you can. Thank you very much for watching.

[@lizatorres5005]

And this works fine for front teeth too? I lost my filling on the tooth right before my canine and It looks terrible.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

For front teeth it will depend on what part of the tooth is missing. The filling material needs to be able to lock in to the tooth, it's not very sticky by itself. For example, if you broke off a corner of your front tooth, the temporary material most likely won't stay in place. I hope I'm explaining it well. Thank you very much for watching.

[@klutzycutie]

I just got two fillings done this last Tuesday and they both fell out. They’re behind my two front teeth. Not sure if I need to use this or not. I can feel the open gaps with my tongue and feels sensitive. I have an appointment a deep cleaning next Tuesday. Not sure if I need to fill my teeth temporary or not. Also I can’t bite down I can only use my tongue to compress it if I did the temporary filling. I hope they can also fill my teeth back next Tuesday. I think i was too rough with flossing. Is that Normal? Just worried and dont want to lose my two front teeth.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

Hi, if you can get new fillings next week, you probably don't need to use the temporary filling material as long as you keep the area clean (don't let food accumulate in the holes). If they are sensitive, you can use the material. Give your dentist a call to let them know what is going on and so that they can get you in to have the fillings replaced. Your deep cleaning appointment may be scheduled with a hygienist not your dentist. Thank you very much for watching.

[@klutzycutie]

@@VeryNiceSmileDental thank you! I have it scheduled with a hygentist and I know the dentist will have to be there to numb me. I’m getting sensitivity so I will do the temporary til then. Hoping they can fill it in then before the hygentist does a deep clean. Is it normal for fillings to pop out soon after getting them filled? I may have been to rough with flossing.

[@VeryNiceSmileDental]

There could have been an issue with the bond. If a filling has a poor bond to the tooth it's better that it falls out sooner rather than later. It's not normal for that to happen, but things can happen.

[@sbaGGabs]

Same thing just happened to me. Filling on Wednesday and went to floss and the filling came out. Also sensitive and it’s a front tooth. Going to try the temporary stuff and hope my dentist isn’t inconvenienced by it…
