[|Human|] I had a deep cavity drilled out today. Almost required a root canal but dentist saved the tooth . A mold was taken and a temporary filling was applies. Within the first hour, a part loosened and i returned to the office for a fix. Several hours later the whole ing came out...appeared to even be some soft cotton/ gauze material in there. Rinsed with hydrogen peroxide mixture and got temporary filling from the local drug store. It s not painful...but not comfortable either. Was the temp filling a bad choice for the next couple of days until i can get to the office again?
[|AI|]  HELLO AND WELCOME, aS per the details provided, the decay was too deep which thereby resists the filling to fit on the teeth. If pulp is involved, root canal treatment is the treatment of choice. Temporary filling is not a permanent solution.Meanwhile, avoid biting hard/solid foods. In the procedure of root canal treatment, tooth is saved, the only difference is entire pulp is removed which is infected. Take complete course of antibiotic cover. Always maintain good oral hygiene. Take care.
