What To Do If You Lose a Filling
- First, make sure that the filling is removed from your mouth to avoid accidental inhalation (which can cause an infection in the lungs)
- Keep the area very clean so damaging bacteria does not accumulate
- To ease discomfort, try placing a small piece of orthodontic wax in the cavity
- Avoid chewing on the tooth from which the filling was lost
- For pain, you may benefit from an over the counter medication like ibuprofen
