Pain after loss of filling | Tooth filling has fallen out – When to the dentist?

Pain after loss of filling

As described above, it is important to store this filling if necessary. Especially if you feel pain on this tooth, you should see a dentist as soon as possible. If a direct appointment is not possible for any reason, painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol will help against the pain.

Other home remedies against pain such as homeopathic globules are also recommended. It is advisable to fall back on soft food in order not to strain the certain tooth too much. It should also not be too hot or too cold.

Since the tooth is missing a piece and thus the external protection is not sufficiently available, it reacts particularly sensitively from heat and cold. The tooth is also less stable against chewing forces, which is why further filling remains – or in the worst case parts of the tooth – can break out.
