Treating A Loose Filling At Home
26th / August / 2017
Calling your dentist’s office is a must when you lose a filling. But what if your dentist doesn’t have any appointments immediately available?
Key takeaways:
- Avoid leaving the area exposed so that bacteria don’t get in. Dental cement (from the pharmacy) can be used as a temporary filling material
- Keep teeth, tongue, and mouth clean at all times
- Clove oil is an excellent natural painkiller with antiseptic properties
To avoid problems, have your fillings checked regularly by a dentist, so they can be replaced before they come loose.
