How long does the repair last?

It is meant to hold for a few days, long enough to reach a dentist. Expect it to wear or loosen sooner under heavy chewing.

Can I eat after using it?

Yes, once it has set. The label says it is safe to eat on, but stick to softer foods and chew on the other side where you can.

Yes, it is made for loose caps and lost fillings. Clean and dry the tooth and cap first so the material grips.

No. It comes ready to use, and the applicator puts it directly on the tooth.

Small amounts are not meant to be swallowed, but the material is safe to eat on once set. If a piece comes loose, remove it rather than swallow it.

No. It is a temporary fix to relieve pain and protect the tooth. See a dentist to have the filling or cap properly restored.
