Lost Filling Emergency Tulsa
If you’ve lost a filling, don’t wait for the pain to get worse. At Emergency Dental Tulsa, we’re ready to provide fast, expert care to relieve discomfort and restore your tooth.
Why a Lost Filling Is a Dental Emergency
Dental fillings are used to repair cavities, cracks, and other minor tooth damage. They seal the tooth to protect the inner layers from bacteria and sensitivity. When a filling falls out or becomes loose, it exposes vulnerable areas, which can result in:
Sudden or sharp pain
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
Discomfort when chewing
Sharp edges that irritate your tongue or cheek
Increased risk of decay, fracture, or infection
Even if you're not in pain yet, a lost filling can allow bacteria to enter the tooth, potentially leading to a serious infection or the need for a more extensive (and costly) treatment like a root canal or crown. That’s why we recommend calling our Tulsa office as soon as possible if you lose a filling.
What to Do If You Lose a Filling
Before you get to our office, here are a few steps you can take at home to minimize discomfort and protect your tooth:
Rinse Your Mouth
Use warm salt water to gently rinse and remove any debris. This helps keep the area clean and reduces bacteria.
Avoid Chewing on the Affected Side
Try to chew on the opposite side of your mouth to avoid putting pressure on the exposed tooth.
Use Dental Wax or Temporary Filling Material
You can find temporary dental material at most pharmacies. It can be used to cover the exposed area until you receive professional care.
Take Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help relieve discomfort if you're experiencing sensitivity or pain.
