If you have fillings or crowns, you might have at one time had one fall out. If so, you know that the pain you feel is excruciating. I had a filling crack in half once, which exposed enough of the cavity underneath that even the feeling of air in my mouth was agonizing. It was back when I worked at the Credit Union as the receptionist, and my job was to be the first person people saw when they walked into the loan department. I was supposed to always have a smile on my face, which was hard to do that day when just opening my mouth to smile made pain shoot through my gums.

I was able to get the filling fixed at the dentist, but I wish I had known about Dentemp OS, which you can buy at drugstores. It comes in a vial, you rinse your mouth with water and leave your tooth moist, then you scoop a little of the material out, roll it in your fingers, then press it into the filling area. It plugs up the hole and keeps the air out until you can see the dentist. It’s only temporary, but it both replaces lost fillings and provides temporary cement for loose crowns, and you can eat again within 30 minutes! Each vial provides up to six applications, and it’s the number one temporary dental repair product sold at drugstores. Keep it in mind if you ever have the unfortunate experience of losing a filling or crown.
