What Should You Do if A Dental Filling Fall Out
Filling do at times fall out, however it is rarely an emergency when they do. If one of your filling should come out make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible to fix it but don’t feel like you need to get in at the same day if that is not possible.
* If you can reach the sensitive area, apply a little clove oil with a cotton swab. It works well to dull tooth pain. You can buy clove oil in pharmacies and also in the spice aisle of many supermarkets.
* If you have lost the filling, you can use over-the-counter dental cement to cover the tooth surface. This will help to protect and seal the area until you are able see your dentist.
Remember just because losing a filling may not be an dental emergency, dose not mean you should put off getting it fixed as soon as possible. Waiting too long to have your dentist fix your filling dose put that too at risk of braking as well as being open to decay.
