If you should lose a tooth filling, call to see our Lincoln, NE emergency dentist at the soonest available time. In the meanwhile, here are a couple of short-term remedies. Inquire at your pharmacy about an over-the-counter dental cement to use as a temporary stop gap. Or, a piece of sugar-free gum can also be applied to the cavity until you see your dentist. Just be sure that gum is sugarless as even a little sugar in a cavity will hurt! At Southpointe, we value your safety and comfort above all else. If you aren’t sure whether or not your toothache is a dental emergency, or you have any questions for our emergency dentist, give us a call today or make an appointment online!
