[|AI|]  Hello, You lost a temporary filling placed while a tooth is having root canal treatment and while waiting to complete a restoration. Did you complete the root canal which usually takes more than one visit? During root canal therapy, the temporary material keeps medication in the tooth and oral bacteria out of the canal system. Once completed, this material won't last long especially if the tooth is badly broken. Your dentist should discuss restoration options. I highly recommend a post and core with a full frown for back teeth such as molars. Your dentist will determine if your pain is common such as from some gum irritation or pressure from a sealed root canal. Take some Anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol or Advil. Your dentist may suggest an antibiotic if you are having discomfort with healing. Avoid chewing in the tooth area and gently rinse to keep clean. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you feel better soon.
