- Is this a permanent filling?
- No. It is a temporary repair to protect the tooth and ease pain until a dentist can place a proper filling or re-cement the crown.
- How soon can I eat after using it?
- Dentemp says the material hardens enough to eat on in about 60 minutes. Stick to soft foods and avoid very hot or sticky items at first.
- Can I use it on a loose crown?
- Yes. Clean the crown, apply the cement inside it and seat it firmly. See a dentist soon, because a loose crown usually means decay or a failed cement job underneath.
- How much material is in a pack?
- One small pack, enough for one or two repairs. Larger cavities may need more than one pack.
- Will it work on a broken tooth?
- It can cover a small chip or sharp edge temporarily, but it is not designed to rebuild a broken tooth. A break that exposes the nerve needs a dentist quickly.
- Is it safe to swallow small amounts?
- Small amounts of cured material that come loose are generally passed, but call a dentist or poison control if you swallow a large piece or have pain or swelling.
