| 1. What should I do immediately if my dental filling falls out? | Gently rinse your mouth with lukewarm water to remove food particles. Keep the affected tooth clean, avoid chewing on that side and contact your dentist promptly for an examination. |
| 2. Is it serious if a filling falls out without pain? | Yes, it still needs attention. The exposed tooth may be vulnerable to sensitivity, food trapping, further decay or damage, even if you have no discomfort. |
| 3. What should I eat if my filling falls out? | Choose soft foods and chew on the opposite side. Avoid hard, sticky, very hot or cold foods if they cause discomfort or sensitivity. |
| 4. Can I repair a lost filling at home? | A lost filling generally requires professional dental treatment. Do not use household glue or attempt a permanent repair yourself. A pharmacy temporary dental filling product may provide short-term protection when used according to its instructions. |
| 5. Why do dental fillings fall out? | Common reasons include normal wear, new decay around the filling, biting hard foods, teeth grinding, or a cracked tooth. A dental examination helps identify the cause and the appropriate treatment. |
| 6. When should I see a dentist urgently? | Arrange prompt dental care if you develop severe pain, persistent sensitivity, a broken tooth or swelling. Facial swelling with fever or spreading infection needs urgent assessment. Difficulty breathing or swallowing is a medical emergency. |
