If your temporary filling comes out before your permanent restoration is placed, don’t ignore it.
The temporary filling helps protect the inside of your tooth while it heals. Without it, bacteria and food can enter the tooth and affect your treatment.
Call our office as soon as possible so we can determine whether the filling needs to be replaced. Until then, avoid chewing on that tooth and keep the area as clean as possible.
We’ll help you decide the best next step and get you scheduled if needed.
