Dental Family Care Emergency Fixes
October 3rd, 2008 | by admin |Often times those rare dental family emergencies, occur after normal business hours. Thus, you are left trying to fend off the pain of a broken tooth or lost filing until Monday morning. If the injury is not extensive, simply go to your nearest 24-hour pharmacy or super center such as Wal-Mart and pick up a temporary filing kit or “tooth putty”. Place the putty on your missing filing or broken tooth to make waiting to see your dentist more comfortable. While the putty works best for back teeth, it can help smooth away the rough edges of a broken front tooth and allow for comfortable eating and sleeping.
