Best cavity and broken tooth protection ever
I have 2 teeth that are broken and when I discovered this &#34;gum&#34; a couple of years ago, I was amazed at how well it protected the teeth.  In my case, one of my molars broke and part of the filling broke off as well, leaving the old cavity exposed.  It got severely infected and since I can't afford a dentist I had to find another way to fill the tooth.  I bought this gum and filled the hole with it.  It's pliable so it's easy to cover all of the exposed areas.  Then I put a temporary filling over it and voila - tooth and cavity are protected and pain free.  The gum has benzocaine in it so it does help with toothache as well.  It's not meant to be a permanent fix of course, but it does work for quite awhile and you don't need much to fill a cavity either.  One application lasts quite awhile.  Of course, you have to practice a bit to learn how to place it so that it doesn't pop out every time you bite on it but if you use the temporary filling stuff with it, you can keep one piece of it in your tooth indefinitely.  I do change it out every month or so, but as long as it is covering the tooth, there is no pain and a reduced risk of infection.  This is NOT a replacement for a visit to your dentist of course, but it works until you can get to one.<br />Another thing - it's very stiff and almost hard at first.  I use a razor blade to cut off the portion I need and then I pinch it between my fingers to make it more pliable.  Once saliva hits it, it does become softer, but this is what I have learned to do since using it.<br />I highly recommend this stuff if you need help with a toothache until you can see your dentist. Excellent product!
