Is there a Temporary Cavity Filling that works NEAR THE GUM for the upper side teeth?

here is the answer you are looking for...  first, do not go to mexico.  your dentist can do a partial root canal or a pulpectomy.  the fee for this procedure should be about 1/4 of the fee for a complete root canal.  this procedure will hold you over until you can save to get the final procedure done.  the partial root canal will remove all or most of the nerve and blood supply to the tooth.  you will have a temporary filling placed after the partial root canal procedure.  if you cannot afford the complete procedure, this is second best.  ask your dentist about this possibility.  of course if the tooth is severely decayed or broken, it may not be salvagable.  good luck...  a pulpectomy should be under 200 bucks and it includes the temporary filling.  make sure you finish what you started though.  an incomplete root canal can cause problems down the road.

Yes, expensive things such as braces, crowns and veneers will definitely do the trick... but if it is indeed a small diastema (gap) then it's highly possible to close it with tooth colored fillings (or bondings)... speak to your dentist about this.

Clove oil as a natural remedy, or Ambusol if you do not care whether or not it is a natural cure. You just have to put a drop where the pain is.\nIf you have lost a filling, there is a temporary filling you can buy over the counter as well.

No you do not want to temporary cement your crown in your mouth.  It will work temporarily but will leak internally and promote tooth decay.  If you absolutely have to temporarily cement it use Fixadent which  can be easily removed from the inside of the crown and wont contaminate either surfaces including your prepared tooth.

You can get cavities anywhere from material that sits between the teeth or along the gums.  The acidity of saliva also contributes.\n\nThe fillings are virtually invisible.  The Novocaine can be a little more upsetting due to the location, but it's basically the same tissue.

A tooth location would be helpful.

Nope, it is simply a dental liner which is placed in large or deep cavity preps under the filling. It acts as a sedative base or an insulating base, as well as forming secondary dentin or repairing. It is not harmful, however as the years go on and new technology comes out more and more dentists are opting against using liners, because they feel they are not as benificial as they thought them to be...It is merely preference in dentists, nor is wrong. Hope this helps answer your question!!!!

It most likely can be fixed, but how to fix it just depends on the size of the cavity and if it has affected the nerve of the tooth or not.  You could possible just  have a simple filling or you may need a root canal.  Only a dentist could tell you for sure

I'm a registered dental hygienist and there is no way to tell  how long a person can hold out w/ getting a filling. I would say if you don't see holes in your teeth when you look in the mirror, you can probally wait til september as long as u are brushing twice a day, everyday, and stay away from cigarettes and Mountain Dew. If u see holes in your teeth, I would get it done ASAP, before u wake up w/ a tooth ache on a Sunday morning or a Holiday when noone is at the office. FYI- If u ever get a toothache DO NOT LAY DOWN. Your blood will rush to your head and cause the tooth to ache even more!!! Good Luck

My dentist has those but I have no clue where to get them.  I've seen where some have glued tissue paper to the existing cover to make them a little more interesting.\n\n\nI found them!!\n\nhttp://www.stratusdesigns.net/index.php?src=overture

Get laminates.  They are thin very strong and cheaper than fillings or crowns, and the results are spectacular!

Sure - very possible.  Teeth don't like trauma - the only part of the tooth that is alive is the nerve (or pulp).  WHen it dies, bacteria begin to build up inside the tooth.  Eventually it will destroy the apex (or tip of the root) and begin destroying the bone around the tooth.  When enough pressure builds up, a pimple like sore will show up on the gum tissue near the root of the tooth.  It will (hopefully) pop allowing the pressure to escape and the puss flow into the patient's mouth.  (yea - I know it's gross, but I couldn't think of a better way to say it). \nBad breath is usually caused by bacteria.  In this case, the bacteria inside and around the decaying pulp (nerve) of the damaged tooth is what smells.  To reso,ve the issue, the nerve must be removed.  In very late stages of this process, the tooth may be too far gone and unsavable.  Better to treat as soon as possible to avoid damaging the jaw bone, surrounding teeth, and possibly even a systematic (whole body) infection due to increased bacteria count.\n\nIf she does need to remove the tooth, there are great replacements available.  We can use a partial denture - which was more pobular in the past or with low income people.  Or you could use a bridge with is a fixed in place semi-permemant solution that looks like real teeth!\n\nHappy Thanksgiving - and happy eats!

We have a material that was designed to be used for "jungle type settings" its sticky, hardens quickly, works in a moist environement, and releases flouride.  unfortunately the designers and chemists made it too good and the general dentist started using it, so much so, that they increased the price  20 fold.  to make up for the losses from the drop in sales of their standard filling material.   Sad isn't it.\n\nIt's called Fuji IX and its expensive.  Since it is so cheap to make and produce,  you may consider calling the manufactuer, tell them about your project, they may well donate some to you.  But if you are going to a place without services, Definitely fuji IX is what you'd want to work with.

one of the best things yet is air abrasion for removing decay.....lots of time a small area of decay can just be "sandblasted" off and you wont even need to be numb...no pain...faster visit.\nalso, digital xrays---they can even be faxxed!\nalso again---composite fillings...the white natural tooth-looking kind! so great to have true "pearly whites" without the darkness of amalgam(silver)

Yes.  It's used when caries reach the pulp of a primary tooth.
