Question: URGENT dental question!?
My 8 year old nephew has chipped his two upper front teeth!. The chips are fairly large probably about 35%!. Is there any fast temporary remedy as he has an important occasion coming up in 10 days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
HI, I THINK WHAT MUM MUM IS TALKING ABOUT ARE COMPOSITE FILLINGS!. THESE ARE THE WHITE FILLINGS YOU CAN GET AT THE DENTIST!. MOST PEOPLE OPT FOR THESE BECAUSE OF THE BETTER AESTHETIC APPEARANCE AS YOU CAN GET A SHADE MATCH TO THE TOOTH!. THE WHITE FILLING IS BONDED TO THE TOOTH WITH CERTAIN DENTINE BONDING AGENTS!. HOWEVER THIS CAN ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED DENTIST!. tEMPORARY FILLINGS AVAILABLE FROM THE CHEMIST ARE QUITE CHALKY IN NATURE AND THE APPEARANCE WONT BE GREAT!. EITHER WAS YOU LOOK AT IT YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR SON TO THE DENTIST AS IT IS NOT ADVISABLE FOR THE DENTINE( MIDDLE LAYER OF TOOTH) TO BE EXPOSED AND NEEDS TO BE COVERED!.

The dentist can bond the chiped teeth in one visit!.Call one now No needles or pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Call an afterhours emergency dental clinic!. All the major cities have at least one!. Its the same place that dentists and dental nurses do their training (dont let that put you off as they are mostly great)!. They can be listed as Dental hospitals!. They can at least offer you advice or even be able to do the job quickly!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
you can have temporary filling doneWww@Answer-Health@Com
To do bonding, the dentist uses phosphoric acid to make microscopic roughness on the surface of the teeth!. Then an adhesive is added, then the filling material!. When the filling material is hardened, it is shaped to the proper contours!.
Often, in my practise, if there was not drilling to do or the teeth too sensitive, the whole thing could be done without giving a local anaesthetic!. It is quite quick and looks real good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
