Is 8 days too long to wait for dentist?!


Question: Is 8 days too long to wait for dentist?
I had root canal back in december and im expected to go back for him to finish it. However i was eating and abit of the filling has been chipped away. It feels exposed and im worried it may get infected again in the next 8 days. Should i go up the dentist to get it checked or us 8 days ok to wait?

Yes you better go back it has only been a week that is not too long to leave it.



Have you called them? Doubtful will get infected but they could put something temporary in for now



go soon.



It is usually the top piece of filling that come out, not the bottom bit. If you have no pain it is Ok to wait.
