Safe + Sound Dental Temporary Tooth Filling

Ok

You don’t need much even for a larger filling. It is mess free, I’ve used a different one in the past and was very messy. It takes a couple of days to fully harden and settle but when it does it feels professional. Only down side is the taste you have for these 2 days which is why I only gave 4 stars.

It works as it should......... Thank you

Easy to use but tends to fall out after a day or 2, fine as a temporary tooth fill until tooth sorted by dentist

Absolutely disgusting taste and stayed in the filling gap for about 20 seconds? Threw it straight in the bin, I suspect even the bin wanted to spit it out too. Save yourself money and use some chewing gum, much better and actually works!

Good buy

I purchased this temporary tooth filling as I had a large filling come out of one of my lower molars, just before Christmas. Thankfully, until just recently, it hasn't caused any pain or problems, however, I knew it was just a matter of time before it would. I'm not registered with a dentist, as even prior to the pandemic, there were no dentists in my area taking on any new patients, especially not on the NHS, & with the pandemic too, that just made accessing dental care even more impossible. I was eating some coleslaw a few days ago, & a piece must have got right into the open cavity, & touched a certain point, as the pain was immense & froze me, like a statue. Eventually, that incapacitating pain did ease, but since then I have been in pain with my tooth, where its been a constant dull throbbing pain, & ive also experienced accompanying pain in my ear on that affected side too. I've, of course, been taking painkillers, but I decided to try a temporary filling material to see if that would help to ease the pain a bit, - thinking that if I could plug the cavity so it was less exposed, it might stop the pain, or at least make it more tolerable. So I browsed through a few different temporary tooth filling kits here on Amazon, & in doing so, I read several review too. I opted to purchase this temporary tooth filling as its reviews were on the whole quite positive, & at an affordable price too, I decided that this wasn't too expensive if it turned out to not be very good, but I was deffo willing to give this a go.This arrived speedily, which was great, & the material itself, which is already pre-mixed, comes in a ready-to-use syringe like tube, which can be used directly on the offending tooth, or, as its like a chalky thick consistency, this can also be easily applied to a finger, & then wedged down into the cavity, - which was how I applied this myself. This kit does include a plastic spatula, however I didn't use it. The consistency of this filling material meant it was pretty easy to handle & to mould into shape, & apply. I pushed it into the cavity, with the excess around the outer tooth, & bit down gently, to give the bite an even & unproblematic bite. I then kept my mouth shut for 15 mins, & tried to prevent too much saliva getting to the tooth in this time frame, - giving the finning material time to harden.Once hardened, the excess material surrounding the tooth crumbled bit by bit, away from the surround of the tooth, & its taste (Zinc based) was absolutely disgusting! Yet, despite the excess filling material crumbling away from the surround of the tooth, the plug of this material within the cavity has remained, & although the pain hasn't gone fully, this temporary filling material has deffo eased the level of pain & throbbing, making the pain more manageable to bear.I'm not sure I would recommend this, being honest, & it really does taste vile! I don't think I would use this again, in the future, either.I hope this review has been helpful 😉

Long lasting and easy to use
