Dental complications such as broken or lost fillings can happen
at any time. Fortunately, there are temporary solutions to
relieve any discomfort until you can visit a dentist, which
experts say you should do as quickly as possible. Here’s a quick
tip if you find yourself with a broken or lost filling.
This is an easy home remedy to keep the tooth clean and to
alleviate any discomfort. Add a quarter to half-teaspoon of
table salt to warm water. Gently rinse the area a few times to
remove any filling debris and food particles. Repeat after each
meal or eating. We don’t recommend using a water pic or other
type of brushing device as this could irritate and even do more
damage to the tooth or remaining filling.
Water cleans the area and the salt acts as a minor antiseptic.
If salt isn’t available, use plain warm water. Don’t forget to
make that appointment with your dentist just as quickly as
possible to avoid any further risk of pain or infection.
