Lost a Filling

What should I do if I lose a filling?

Pain is the issue here.  If you are not in any pain, simply keep the area clean and see your dentist as soon as you can.  If it hurts, as a temporary measure, stick a piece of sugarless gum into the cavity (sugar filled gum will cause pain) or use an over the counter dental cement.  See your dentist as soon as possible.
