Tooth Pain IV

When you have a sore tooth, it doesn't seem like you can get to the dentist fast enough. If you lost a filling and you have a bit of time before you can get in to see your dentist here are a couple of things that you can do.

You can find some temporary filling at the local drug store.

If you can't find any of that you can use a piece of softened sugar free gum to fill the crater.

This will only protect the exposed area from food getting in and getting stuck or causing too much pain.

You will still have to eat with caution as it will still hurt or possibly damage the tooth more as it is weaker than normal with the filling missing.
