Temporary fillings?

YEH ok i know it shouldnt be on here and no doubt it will get moved but i put it on here so more people would see it before it gets moved and hopefully get a quick answer.

I have started having some deep root canal work today its in 5 roots between 2 teeth ( :cry: :cry: OUCH)so it needs a hell of a lot of time, so they have put in a temporary filling can anyone tell me is it ok to chew food on that side as normal or do you have to alter your eating habits?.

i dont know about deep roots etc but i have always been very careful for the first day or 2 after having fillings. better to be safe than sorry :confused:

no don’t chew on that side temporary fillings will more than likely fall out

You need to test it out with some bonfire toffee first :wink: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Seriously though ive had my temporary filling in for about 18 months now and had no bother with it (course ive just jinxed myself now)
