My filling just fell out of my back tooth?!?!


Question: My filling just fell out of my back tooth?!?
What should I do to keep it from getting infected?

Answers:

Call your dentist immediatley.

Until you can get in to an appointment, make sure to avoid sugary, acidic foods, and brush teeth very well.

Keep in mind that where the filling was, will have no enamal to protect the tooth, so sugars and acids can easily erode the tooth.



You can buy temporary filling material in a tube from the Chemist's but the sooner you get to the dentist the better in the meantime be extra thorough when cleaning your teeth and rinse with a good mouth wash.



If it's sore you need to be seen tomorrow. If it's not you should have it seen to within the week.June is far too far away - don't be silly!
