If you've lost a dental filling, it's important to make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. You may be able to get an appointment the same day or within a few days. If you can't get to the dentist right away, you should take special care of your tooth. Keeping the area clean is essential to prevent microorganisms from damaging exposed tissue. Until you can see a dentist, your main priority should be protecting your tooth.
If you lost a crown, you may be able to put it back on the tooth as a temporary solution. First, you'll need to clean the inside of the crown and then cover it with dental cement before keeping it in place. Dental cement can be found at most drugstores and can be used to coat the tooth as protection against bacteria. If you have lost a filling or crown, it's important to take action quickly. Make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible and take steps to protect your tooth until then.
With proper care and attention, you can ensure that your tooth remains healthy and strong.
