[|Human|] I have a really bad cavity in the back of my mouth that is throbbing. My mom suggest putting dentek in the cavity as a temporary fix. Is this a good idea? I dont have insurance or the money to go to the dentist. If this is not a good solution (which something tells me, its not), do you have any recommendations?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The cavity has to be cleaned and filled with a permanent restoration if there is no pupal involvement, if pupal involvement is there then it has to go for root canal treatment. If I am your treating doctor I would suggest you to get a radiograph of the tooth and see the extent of involvement of the decay and plan the treatment. It has to be filled as early as possible otherwise you might have to lose the tooth. Then the expense of the treatment also doubles. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
