The filler is the material used to fill the cavity in the tooth. The crown slips off and covers the top of the damaged tooth, sometimes loosening and dropping off. This is rarely an emergency, but it can be painful because the exposed tooth tissue is often sensitive to stress, air or high and low temperatures. In some cases, the filler or crown may become loose due to decay beneath it. Rotting can cause deformation of the tooth, so the tooth-filled crown is no longer suitable for the tooth.
what can you do to dental supplies
You may be eating something, or biting something when you find that a stuffing or a crown has been lost or fallen off. You may feel your mouth full of lost stuffing or crowns.
If it is a crown, put it in a safe place and make an appointment to see a dentist as soon as possible. You do not want to wait too long because the teeth will soften, which can damage more without the protection of the crown. And, when a crown is lost for a long time, your teeth may move. If this happens, your crown may no longer fit.
If your teeth are sensitive, you can not go to the dentist right away, so you can do it:
If it is possible to reach sensitive areas, apply a little clove oil with a cotton swab. It can eliminate tooth pain well. You can buy clove oil at pharmacies, or at the spice aisles in many supermarkets.
If you have a crown, you can slide it back to your teeth. Before that, it is important to clean the inside of the crown as much as possible. Temporarily hold it in place and apply it to the inner surface of the crown with the "cement" of the tooth, which you can buy at the dental section of the pharmacy. There are several types of temporary cement available. Some need to be mixed; others are ready for use. If nothing else is available, denture adhesives and even Vaseline oil can be used. These are not permanent solutions, but they will help put the crown in place until you see your dentist. You should not use any household glue to secure the crown. These products are unsafe placed in your mouth and can damage teeth and crowns.
If you lose a filler or crown, you can use an over-the-counter dental cement to cover the surface of the tooth. This will help to protect and seal the area until you can see your dentist and can make you more comfortable.
What your dentist will do
If the tooth structure is reasonable, the crown is still appropriate and the dentist will clean the area and replace the crown.
If the tooth is affected by corrosion, the dentist will need to re-prepare the tooth by eliminating the decay and then making a new filler or crown instead of the old dental equipment.
