LostFilling
A lost dental filling can be caused my many different reasons.

About This Condition

This can be due to:
- Biting into hard and sticky foods
- Old fillings that wear away with time
- An fillings that may have been temporarily repaired
- A temporary filling left in place for too long
- Newly formed decay underneath the filling that has enlarged the void
Patients may find that a lost fillings could:
- Lead to sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks due to the exposure of underlying tooth structure
- They may find that food gets stuck in the void
- They may also find the tooth is now sharp and cutting into their tongue or cheek
Whilst patients are waiting for their appointment, their are a few easy things they can do to help protect the tooth:
- Apply temporary dental cement – to cover sensitive parts of the tooth and protect the tooth by acting as a barrier, providing temporary relief. This can be purchased from your local pharmacy
An examination from your general dentist will diagnose the reason for your lost filling and then they will devise a treatment plan to rectify the problem.
