Each of us, having visited the dentist, had to deal with a temporary filling. Usually the dentist  explains what it is for, how much to "walk" with it  and when to change. But when leaving the clinic, the winged  With the absence of pain, we forget about everything in the world and about that filling too.

Let's figure out what this miracle is, how long you can "wear" it, and whether it is harmful.

A temporary filling is a kind of filling made of a fragile, NON-HARMFUL material that protects the tooth cavity from surrounding irritants (sweet, hot, spicy, etc.)  or vice versa, does not allow AGGRESSIVE drugs placed in the tooth to enter the oral cavity - this is important! The service life of such a filling is not long - from one week to two months. But in no case can it be an alternative to a permanent filling!

The lifespan of a temporary filling depends on the purpose of its use.

Doctors at the ARTIX Medical Center advise their patients to wear a temporary filling NO MORE than the period determined by the doctor, especially if there are nerve-killing medications under it! These medications are destructive! If the temporary filling material does not last the required period, begins to crumble or fall out, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible to replace the filling and continue treatment.
