LostFilling Repair

A lost dental filling can be caused by many different reasons.

A lost dental filling needs attention, especially if it is causing you pain or discomfort.
About This Condition

Losing a dental filling can be caused by the following:
- Biting into hard and sticky foods
- Old fillings that wear away with time
- 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
- Food gets stuck in the void
- The tooth is now sharp and cutting into their tongue or cheek
Whilst patients are waiting for their dental filling appointment and treatment, there are a few easy things they can do to help protect the tooth.:
- Patients can 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
