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.

  • Call Emergency Dental Tulsa

    We offer same-day appointments and emergency walk-ins to help you get care fast. Don’t wait—acting quickly can help preserve the tooth and avoid further damage.
