HELP, dental woes!?!


Question: HELP, dental woes!!?
I have a few poorly done fillings (were not properly cleaned before being filled)!. I had been putting off having them redone because I no longer have dental insurance!. Well one of the old fillings has fallen out!. Luckily it's one of the smaller ones but it's still scary!. I won't be able to get to a dentist until Thursday at least and even then I don't know if they'll do the filling then!.
My main question is what can I do in the meantime!? I don't want to do anything to make it worse and I don't know anything that could make it better until then!.
I haven't had any pain yet!. I've been able to drink but I haven't tried to eat yet and I'm a little scared to!.
Please help! Any advice would be appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I agree with Queen's answer!.!.!.!.my dentist once told me to do the same thing!. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the magical stuff either--but the pharmacist should be able to help you out on that count!.

My dentist told me I could last a couple weeks with this stuff, if I was careful (no chewing sticky stuff obviously)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

like the top answerer as said you can get a temporay filling kit from a chemist also clove oil soaked on cotton wool is brillant if your in pain it doesn't taste nice but it will take the pain away plus you can get a clove oil gel to put up into the tooth!. and avoid eating on that area else food will make it hurt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go to the pharmacy and look for temporary filling material (can't remember the name)!. It's near the toothbrushes, etc!. You pack it into the hole until you can get to the dentist!. Try not to chew on that side!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is a product you can pick up in the pharmacy that acts as a temporary filling!. I think it says how long you can do that for!. if you told the dentist office the filling fell out it is reasonable to assume they will replace it then!.

what I would do if i were you is start working on replacing those bad fillings!. Work out payment with your dentist or do them one at time an find the money to pay for it!. You could end up with root canals instead and you could easily look at a grand each if needed!. find a dental school to do them!. something!. don't use lack opf dental insurance as an excuse!. I had to pay 2000 out of pocket to fix a couple teeth when I was with out insurance and I wouldn't trade it for anything I've got my teeth!. My dentist let me pay a bit every month!. it won't hurt to ask but it might if you don't!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
