Please go to a dentist right away and do NOT fill your cavity with an epoxy--especially one with steel in it. First off, you will definitely be filling in bacteria that will continue to eat away at the enamel underneath. That means that eventually, not only will you be in severe pain, but you will be at risk for an infection and may necessitate a root canal (something to avoid--trust me on this!!!) So sooner or later, you're going to a dentist.\n\nSecondly, your dentist will have to remove your makeshift filling--it will be ten times more difficult if the epoxy has steel in it--which means that either the healthy part of your tooth may be damaged in the process, or the entire tooth may end up being extracted. Then you get into the world of dental implants, and having to worry about THAT falling out, and not just a filling!\n\nPlease just clean it out the best you can and see a dentist immediately. If you absolutely must do something yourself, then use the temporary dental filler available in drugstores but you should still see a dentist as soon as possible.\n\nSeriously, what you pay now to have that filling replaced by a dentist is only a fraction of what it would cost down the road if you try to do your own garage dentistry.\n\nGood luck.

Plastic filling in the back tooth.  A great money maker.  Cost more & last half as long as a metal filling.  \n\nPlastic fillings do not on average last as long as metal ones.  There are some fantastic dentists placing them with very long lasting results.  But they are not for everyone. They are not for the casual dental patient. if you are not great at brushing, not reliably in the office every six months, and just don't want to risk catastrophic failure(RCT and Crowns) they are not for you!  \n\nI believe this from experience,  All fillings fail catastophically now and then. Metal fillings can break the tooth in two.  They can fracture and fall out and so on.   But, When plastic fails it "debonds" a dentist can spot this in an instant and redo the filling.   A patient who doesn't come into the office regularly will not notice this until its Root Canal Time. \n\nI'm all for plastic fillings in back teeth provided I know the patient has a high chance of getting it checked regularly.  MOst people fail to go to the dentist at some point,  either due to familial reasons or just any reason. \n\nSome cosmetic dentist don't even offer metal fillings.  I think this is a mistake.  You need to consider the patients situation, you can't cookie cutter every type of patient for cosmetic dentistry.   You need to watch out for your patient 's future.  Thats all I'm saying.\n\nWhen it comes to the most abused procedure in dentistry where emotion and fear (mercury) is used to influence the patient to choose one treatment over another.   THIS IS IT.\n\nhope you were informed before you opted to get it.  It's actually the law.

Super glue will work for a temporary fix, but it is water soluble and won't last very long.  Acrylic is the only permanent answer and you would need to have that done at your dentist.

place the mouthpiece in boiling water for at least one minute (some require longer, but that's the general rule) take it out and immediately bite down hard into it, making sure that it contours and shapes to your teeth and gums.\n\n you can reboil it, but I don't reccommend doing it because it can weaken the mouthpiece's ability to absorb the shock of a strike. there is also one that is a full mouthpiece that protects the top and bottom teeth and the Jaw from strikes called the WIPPS jaw joint protector. ($19.99 @ awma.com)\n\nif you feel like you're choking, you may need to trim the back ends of the mouthpiece to fit better.

It most likely can be fixed, but how to fix it just depends on the size of the cavity and if it has affected the nerve of the tooth or not.  You could possible just  have a simple filling or you may need a root canal.  Only a dentist could tell you for sure

yes, its normal, it will tighten up. the pain is bruising, and should go away in a few days. If the pain gets worse, or you think its infected, call the doctor. just don'tpoke at the hole, drink through a straw, or smoke. sucking can cause dry socket, and that is twice as painful as getting the tooth yanked!

a couple options\n1 - take it to a welding shop and have them fill them\n2 - waterproof epoxy  make sure the metal is clean and rough first.\n3 - you could use self sealing pop rivets and rubber\n4 - get a bigger bilge pump :-)

I hope not! I've noticed I've been doing it since my mid-twenties, but I was able to "deal" with the dull pain. In the past six months, though, a filling came out of one of my molars and then a molar on the other side actually cracked! My dentist repaired both, but said it was due to my grinding, as were the cavities developing from all the wear and tear on my teeth enamel. So next month I'm getting fitted for a mouthguard to wear when I sleep.

Call your dentist have it checked out,  haveing a post operative complication is part of the extractions risk .  He would much rather see you for a question than for an infection.  \n\nCall soon

please go to your dentist, he'll check on it without payment because it is his duty to do it. do not take a risk relying on others experience,it might came out for her but maybe not on you. you're right that there's a possibility to have an infection. it's your health! Be safe!

Yes her tooth will some through again when it is time, but just to make sure you should go to the dentist if the tooth is not due for quite some time and they may put a spacer in that spot  to make sure there will be enough room for the new one. chances are though they will just leave well enough alone.\n\nWhat he's trying to say is a spacer.

Go to the Dentist. My brother broke his tooth they put a cap on it like I think they made a new bit of tooth and glued it on for him. But coz it was more than a chip he lost half of his tooth they inserted a little pin in the tooth to hold it in. But he said it didn't hurt and his tooth looks very good. Maybe just go to the dentist explain u don't like going to the dentist just ask him if he could have a look then ask him what he would do to repair ur tooth and if it sounds scary u don't have to go through with it.

take your dental floss and push under the kernal if that dosen't work brush over your gum and use mouthwash. if it's really lodged in there good and deep you might want to ask a pharamicst because it would be ridiculous to go to the dentist and pay for that unless there is no other way!

It's probably not a dry socket~ they usually hurt terribly!  As mentioned in other answers, it's likely a small piece of bone or tooth structure that broke off during the extraction.  These can act like a splinter in your finger that festers, then finally comes out and everything is better.  It could also be an abscess, which would need treatment ASAP.  You should call your dentist and schedule a quick "look-see" to be sure it's not an abscess.  In the meantime, rinse with warm salt water and it probably wouldn't hurt to message the area with a very CLEAN finger in case it's a retained piece of bone.  Sometimes it'll pop out with a bit of pressure.

Hey there, I hope this helps!!! The placement of a temporary filling takes merely 5 minutes tops. I recomend you make a call to your dental office and I can assure you that they will find five minutes to fit you in. You will still have to go in on monday and get the rootcanal finished but that tooth needs to be temporarily filled. They will make time for you! Give em a call! Good Luck!!! Hope this helps
