Have an appointment with the dentist on Wednesday. Mines the 🔝 third molar 🦷 right side. It’s throbbing and thought about using this but you said not to so thank you for the advice. Any recommendations on what i should do until i see my dentist ?
I had a tooth that was scheduled to be extracted, but due to covid, it was scheduled a couple of months out. I tried using this to fill the cavity and it is really not worth the time, money, or effort as just crumbles in your mouth. I tried several different brands and all were a complete failure. The package indicates enough cement for a number of uses, but that is because you can fill a tooth several times a day as this stuff “DOES NOT HARDEN SATISFACTORILY.” I followed the procedures exactly. I let it set overnight to ensure that I didn’t eat or drink. The cement fell out the next morning when I had a peach yogurt for breakfast. I then tried drying the tooth before applying the product. To say this is a cement, is very misleading. I did a little research and discovered that this “cement” could be made at home by using cornstarch and petroleum jelly. People, cornstarch and petroleum jelly? So, I tried that and it turned out to be exactly like the Dentemp. Don’t waste your time or money.
I cracked my tooth a couple days ago and my dentist due to covid said to buy temparin till covid ends. I got some of the dental cement on my tooth and it’s dry do you know how I would be able to remove it ?
Rehena Mae , do you mean you have some of this cement on another tooth you want to remove? If so, leave it for a while and it will wear off on itself, otherwise you can try to scrape it off. Hope this helps.
Oscar Dadashian it’s on the tooth I tried to fill and a spot on another one . My dentist said to fill it with an emergency kit but the tooth it had a metal filling and when it broke /cracked some of the filling feel very small amount but very much in tact.the tooth is loose but isn’t coming out still in the gum. I’m keeping it clean by brushing my teeth regularly and mouth washing 3 times a day. I saw on google said you could use sugar free to cover the tooth during the day and try too keep the mouth dry ?
Rehena Mae. Thanks for that. If you want reassurance, we do free video consultation and I happily call you on FaceTime and try to have a look and give you guidance. This is all free service we are providing. To do so, please go to my practice’s website and request it. One of my team members will arrange this. Our website is www.smiledentalpractice.co.uk You do not need to be a registered patient of our practice to request this. Hope this helps. Thanks
Hi Oscar, Can you use this if the the edge where the filling broken away, if i put my finger in the whole i can smell bacteria from the tooth, is it okay still to proceed.
Hi, as long as the tooth is not throbbing, my recommendation is to just clean it with your brush and put the filling in for now. Luckily, the dental practices are opening back up from 8th June, therefore you can get help soon. If it is only the edge of your tooth, it might just nor stick in there as you need a cavity with walls to keep the filling in place. Worth a try though. Hope this helps. Thanks
I am very sorry to hear that Jamal. That sounds like an infection and you will NEED to see a dentist. Do not use this temporary filling as the infection needs to drain and by blocking it the swelling will get worse. If you are in the UK, call 111 and they will find you an emergency dentist near you.
Hi Johannah, it takes 48hours for the material to fully set. It will stay there a lot longer. Even if some of it comes off, it is not a problem as long as it is covering the bottom of the cavity. Thanks
@@orangdadashian2089 aesome thank you, also if it ok to put it on top of existing temp filling which has started to come away (as this is my issue atm)
Johannah Tandy , pleasure. You can top up the existing temporary filling but please bear in mind that the bond between an old and a new temporary filling is poor. The new part tends to come out fairly quickly.
Hi, the temporary filling normally comes our or chips when you eat. I think it is highly unlikely for it to come out on its own when you are sleeping. Even if it does while sleeping or eating, the material is safe enough for you to just pass it on. I really would not worry about it. Hope this helps. Thanks
@@orangdadashian2089 Thanks. Thing is, I'm not as worried about _swallowing_ it as I am about _inhaling_ it. But, it's helpful to know how the material typically wears down. Thanks for the insight on that, and for the video.
That material is very weak. I've used it 2x and 2x it dropped out from my tooth. It's temporary filling maybe on 8 hours. Doesn't work as a temporary filling which using dentists. It should be hard after 2-3 hours but it doesn't. When you apply to your tooth after mixing saliva is total disaster because it starting melt. You have to apply it on dry tooth and keep it that what is not possible because you rmouth is full of saliva.
I wish I new about it this, I've just order one yesterday. Had a temporary filling twice this year while waiting on a referral for wisdomtooth removal for 9 months now on NHS,
@@andrewpearson3516 it should help actually the amount you get u can use it about 20 or so times just try to avoid eating on that side. Last thing you need is an infection.
Yes its garbage I've tried 3 different brands now all 3 fail to stay in the one from boots sucked it fell out within 24 hours the Amazon one never set and one from my local chemist was weak to
Yeah I tried 2 and none stuck. I had to go to the dentist and have a cap out on. That product wasted my time and should be taken off the shelves. What a waste of time.
@@marvelousjoe I've tried 3 times with one and it's holding so far but don't know how long it will dentist won't see anyone unless your in extreme pain
making videos takes some responsibility of practicing and investigating the real process before doing "in theory videos", this video is practically useless since you are NOT doing it in a real patient in a 100% real situation, using plastic teeth is fantasy, once you do it in a real patient you will realize several problems that you are NOT telling, is so easy to imagine that "it should work", many things go wrong in a real situation and the saliva makes the process very difficult and going out of place and in between the healthy front teeth and it will look horrible, patient must bite over a wax paper so the material does not stick on the wrong upper or lower teeth, making videos takes responsibility too, and the time to dry and how to avoid saliva or the material will make a mess
Thank you, my kit has just arrived, l’m doing it tomorrow morning after breakfast. Thank you for this video
Great informative video, I had just ordered this yesterday for a filling that has just come out this week,,,... Thanks Oscar
Thank you very much Dr, I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Hi, I got little hole in my teeth now I got pain can I use this until I go to dentist?
I’m wondering what color is that filling? White or cream?
Hi can you please answer my question can dentek turn into a powder in it's container?
Hi, not sure. I have only used it when making the video. But other temporary fillings we use in dental practices can get old and grumbling.
Thank you .

I had a root canal done a few months ago and half my tooth has fallen out.Would you recommend using this?
Jonathan Allen, yes I do while in lockdown
Can you please tell me if I can use it for close a little gap ? Thank you so much
Hi Kami. This material is a space filler as long as the space is large enough to be retentive. Otherwise it will not stick.
I have a throbbing tooth ache , has a hole in my tooth and the gum above is swollen and can't get a dentist appointment anywhere in my area 😫
I am very sorry to hear that Jamal. That sounds like an infection and you will NEED to see a dentist. Do not use this temporary filling as the infection needs to drain and by blocking it the swelling will get worse. If you are in the UK, call 111 and they will find you an emergency dentist near you.
with this dry hard like a filling?
No, it will not. Also it is more crumbly so that a dentist can remove it easily.
Is this ok to leave more than 48 hours that is said ? As will longer than that before i could probably have an appointment due to the covid-19

I worry that this material might come unstuck while I'm sleeping and I could inhale it. Is this fear warranted?

Dear Milan, this is a temporary solution. It sounds like you need to see a dentist. Best wishes
imagine how much money this temp filling company is making during covid time. This thing costs about 8 quid and lasts for maximum 1 day
