Hey there, I hope this helps!!! The placement of a temporary filling takes merely 5 minutes tops. I recomend you make a call to your dental office and I can assure you that they will find five minutes to fit you in. You will still have to go in on monday and get the rootcanal finished but that tooth needs to be temporarily filled. They will make time for you! Give em a call! Good Luck!!! Hope this helps

You're lucky.  (considering that I had to get 5 wisdom teeth out) No joke!  The dentist were looking at my x-rays and they were calling other dentists in the office and they were looking at the x-rays laughing and then they told me I had 5 to get out... I didn't think that was possible... but I'm just so sweet that I got another I guess.\n\nThe one spot that I had 2 in got infected and ended up hurting a lot.  Hang in there with the popsicles and jello and other mushy food.  You'll get through this.  The peak of swelling should be 3-4 days then after that it should be getting less swollen.

I would advise your dentist that you are in this much pain when u go back. Few days after fillings they can be irritable and pain full, sometimes this goes after a few days and if not go back. \n When i had rootcanel few months ago, i used to get a aspirin, crumble it up to powered, and put it on my tooth to relief the pain. (asways read label)

well. white fillings are bonded in. silver ones are held in by undercuts so you dentist felt it would hold better. if it is that big, you needed a crown not a filling. anyway....it sounds like you fractured your tooth, if so and the fracture goes to pulpal floor (where crown meets roots) it is nonrestorable. even a root canal wont help. go back to your dentist.

if u r a heavy drinker or u used to take some kind of medicines or may be drugs ..all this will effect &decrease your response to local anasthesia...in the other hand may be ur dentist didn't give you enough anas. or didn't inject it exactly where it should be inject.(((all the above reasons are normal and common but not in your case)))...in your case you didn't trust your dentist you were affraid of drilling and injecting a foriegn solution in your mouth tissues ((believe me that the main common cause of what you suffered from)) ...psychological cause very common in the first dental procedure in the life and in some cases it remain with the person all his life .....the other issue ((a bigger cavity)) that's normal cause the dentist have to clean tooth cavity from dead and decayed tooth tissues and food  debris accomulated in the cavity and apart of the healthy tooth tissue to make sure that the decay will not return back eatin the rest of your tooth because any micro  soft caries spot if left will reactivate itself after dressing the permenant filling ........and it's good for you when she didn't filled ur tooth with a permenant metal filling material ...it will be very painfull for you in the first 3-7 days.(((good luck....by the way i'm a dentist)))

hi, i'm the son of a dentist in orlando, florida. and i'm sorry to say, but you might be held responsible for your dentures. now, you didn't give me much information. i'm assuming that by "temporary dentures" it means that the doctor should have your permanent dentures done soon correct? well if so then you need to just wait until they are done. otherwise, you're in trouble. sadly, these things happen. next time be sure to not let what-ever-happened to happen again.\n\nkeep in mind this is all depending on your dentist. some dentists have different rules.

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.

You should go see your dentist asap.  I used to be a dental assistant and there are illnesses in the gums that can be treated.  Infections that you may not even know are there.  If you wait and don't find out what it is, the sockets can become looser and you could risk losing your teeth.

Ice Pack!!! Good for  you. You survived the Dentist. Just in time for the weekend.

You'll be fine!  It's been 2 weeks.  We recommend not spitting or sucking on a straw for the first few days b/c the clot needs to stay in your socket to protect your bone.  Your gums should be healing now.  The clot should be dissolved.\nIf you had dry socket you would be in tremendous pain due to bone exposure.  Dull pain is common.  You are still in the healing process.\nIt should be fine to use a straw now.  \nTake some ibuprofen for the tenderness.  Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory and will reduce any inflammation.

you really need to communicate with this dentist. sometimes things don't show up right away but regardless someone needs to get to the bottom of this swelling pronto and the dentist will know where to start

if you need a temporary fix until you get to your dentist you can go to any drug store and get some temporary cement  that will last for a day or two. its by the dental stuff, its easy to use. it should cost you less than fifty dollars to have it re-cemented, if you go to the dentist that put it in it may cost nothing, just call and ask.

Hello! Ok, so if I am understanding correctly, one of your sealants has fell out. Ok so no big deal. You say you are going back to the dentist soon to get it replaced, so in the meantime just keep those deep groves cleaned by daily brushing. A sealant is only a protective layer to fill in deep grooves on molars in children adn young adults for preventative measures. It will be A-OK until you get back to the dentist! Good Luck

Your going through exactly what i am i am shamed terrified everything! My doctor put me on to an excellent dentist and he didnt yell he was so nice and freindly and did not say one bad thing about me. I need all mine pulled wisdom too apart from 7 lower front ones. I coudlnt make an app my mother had to, i even freaked out during the xray! My doctor gave me a mild quick sedative that lasts about an hour to calm nerves before they put me under, maybe talk to your local doctor. I have seen the dentist now i feel better but i am still scared and petrified! I can fill you in more about my history if we can contact via email, not sure but happy to tell you what i have done to combat my fear in the last week weeks if it helps you :) Gee my husband doesnt even know how bad my mouth is and i only opened up to my mum 5 weeks ago! Good luck i wish you well (i just have to get thru it first too

I had all four of mine out at the same time.  When you get there, they most likely will hoke you up to an IV in your arm, and the medications going through the line will knock you out, so all you remember is sitting there and then waking up.  Your mouth will be packed with gauze and you will look like a chipmunk for around 2 to 4 days, depending on how you heal.  One of the worst feels was that my mouth was so dry!  it was so packed full or gauze I could barley close it...but as long as you can handle having a dry mouth, you'll be fine.  They will give you a pain killer to take when you get home, and this will make you want to sleep the whole first day and probably the next as well... don't plan to do any thing for at least 2 maybe 3 days... Yo will make it, and it will save you a lot of trouble later.  good luck!
