Temporary fillings placed on the sides of the teeth should last longer than fillings on top of the teeth. Occasionally a little longer. If you clean your teeth and then have a good rinse with warm water before you apply the temporary filling, the cement sticks better. The filling will last longer if you avoid using it to chew hard foods such as nuts or pizza crusts. With a little care, it should be easy to keep your filling in place for at least a couple of weeks.
You may get a lot longer than that if you only have a small cavity on the side of your tooth. The cement is housed in a small plastic bottle with a clip-on lid that has plastic hinges. This makes it hard to access the cement but Dentemp comes with a small tool you can use to dig some of it out. According to the pack, each pot is good for 12 or more repairs. I generally manage to get around five to six temporary fillings per pot.
The usage guidelines tell you to wash your hands and then rinse the cavity with warm water but, as I already mentioned, I like to brush my teeth first. The first thing you do is dig out a little cement with the end of the plastic tool.
Then you pick it off with your fingers and roll it into a ball. The cement is sticky stuff so you need to wet your fingers before you try to do this. You may need to bite on the cement to make sure there are no high points. All in all, though, Dentemp is pretty easy to use and it tastes the same as the temporary fillings dentists put in so it might be similar stuff.
When you are happy with the repair, you have to leave the filling to set. This takes two hours and you are not meant to eat during this time. The first step is to remove the old cement from the crown. This may be an indication of infection. When replacing a cap or crown, should I put the cement directly into the center of the cap or crown?
Place a small amount of the cement on the upper inside wall of the cap or crown. Place the cap or crown on the tooth and press firmly for several minutes. When replacing a lost filling, how do I get the ball of cement to stay in the hole? Place the ball on the tip of your finger and put the ball into the hole of your tooth.
Then disengage the cement from your finger by scraping your finger along the side of your tooth. Should Dentemp be used on a post or implant? It differs from case to case.
Can Dentemp be used to repair a broken tooth? You should consult your dentist. Can Dentemp be used to repair a denture? You should use Repair-it or consult your dentist. Will I get sick if I accidentally swallow Dentemp? Is there any type of crown on which Dentemp should not be used? Dentemp can be used on any type of crown. What is Eugenol? Eugenol is the active ingredient in clove oil.
Eugenol helps to alleviate pain. Can I use Dentemp if I am nursing? If I have a latex allergy? If I have high blood pressure? Can I use Dentemp while pregnant?
Consult your obstetrician. Is Dentemp gluten free? Can Dentemp be used on children? Consult your dentist or pediatrician. No waste. Recapit is a unique, no mix cement made especially for replacing loose caps and crowns. In dentistry, temporary cements are used to temporarily bond provisional restorations, which include inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, and implants. While there are numerous types of temporary cements, the most common types are eugenol-based, non-eugenol based, and resin based.
Methods for removing residual cement, beyond the use of floss and scalers for hard set cement, include cleaning with a water and pumice paste and prophylaxis cup, and using an intraoral sand blaster. Of all three, the sand blaster has been the most effective and manual removal the least effective. Dental cement is the glue that bonds a wide range of dental and orthodontic applications to the tooth surface.
Because of this wide range of use, dental cement comes in a variety of forms that are used for temporary or permanent restorations. When you first fill your tooth the pain will be extreme. Then it will calm down and be gone. This lasts out to two weeks and a half at the most three weeks. Use a cold pack on your cheek or lips that cover the broken tooth. The cold helps reduce swelling and alleviates pain. Look for temporary dental cement at the drug store. Use it to cover the part of the tooth that remains in your mouth until you see a dentist.
An application of dental wax over the edges is suggested. However, if you have a large chip or a portion of the tooth missing dental wax is not recommended. You should avoid chewing on the side of the damages in your mouth and attempt to reduce pressure and irritation around the tooth by flossing.
Put extra glass ionomer in any other pits on the surface of the tooth near the cavity. Rub petroleum jelly on your finger and press down firmly onto the filling for a few seconds, rolling your finger from side to side. This will make the filling smooth. If the tooth is painful, take acetaminophen or another over-the-counter pain reliever.
Rinse your mouth with salt water. If the break caused a sharp or jagged edge, cover it with a piece of wax paraffin or sugarless chewing gum to keep it from cutting your tongue or the inside of your lip or cheek. Temporary broken tooth repair kits are available in drugstores and online and can be helpful while waiting to see a dentist.
Some kits include dental wax to cover jagged edges, and others contain material that can be molded into the shape of a tooth to fill in gaps left on broken or missing teeth.
If you can find the fragments of your broken tooth, your dentist may be able to bond it back together. But if the damage extends below your gum line, it will likely need to be extracted.
