What can I do to deal with a chipped tooth until Monday?
Part of my filling fell out while flossing just now. I am assuming all dentists offices are closed on Sundays. What can I do to fill in the gap until Monday? It's not causing any pain. do you think it will cause pain?
If you are not experiencing any pain I would not be concerned over the weekend. Chew on the opposite side until you can get in to see the dentist. A soft pliable wax might be used to press into the space caused by a lost filling as well. You should find it in the drug store as orthodontic wax or ask the pharmacist. I would not try anything else. As a former dental assistant and to be sure my answer was correct I consulted the following source.
Before you will get a lot of shots to numb your mouth and you wont feel a thing i promise but you feel alittle presure and they will sew your skin back and it takes a whole week because i got four pulled out and your cheeks will look like chimpunks lol its painful you wiont be able to eat just drink and eat cup of noodels and youll look skinnier ! goodluck
