Do you have pain in the teeth??

Did your dentist told to fill the cavity temporary??

Then Here are some of the top reasons to make a decision like that

You may receive a temporary filling usually white, off-white or gray if:

• Your treatment requires more than one appointment.
• Your dentist wants to wait a short period of time for the tooth to heal.
• You have a deep cavity and the pulp (containing the nerve and blood vessels) becomes exposed during treatment.
• You need emergency dental treatment.
• A temporary filling may make your tooth feel better. This is because the filling seals the tooth, protecting the pulp from bacteria and reducing sensitivity.

• Temporary fillings often contain eugenol, an ingredient in over-the-counter toothache remedies. Eugenol is also a component of oil of cloves, which people use for toothache pain.

More importantly if you are done with a temporary filling

They are not meant to last. Usually, they fall out, fracture or wear out within a month or two. If you get a temporary filling, make sure you visit your dentist to get a permanent one. If you don’t, your tooth could become infected or you could have other problems.
