Help...!

[solaris=amazing]

I honestly didn't know where to post this...

When i was eating dinner a piece of my tooth chipped-it's one of the back big teeth that is already filled with silver/metal from the dentist 2 years ago. So now i got a chip/hole in it about 1/16inch round..

Here's where it gets ghetto..lol.. Do they make a filling you can put in yourself, like a porcelin or filler that hardens for good..? I just came from CVS and all they had was this stuff called Temperin-it's a chalk like substance that hardens..but it is temporary..

YES, i'm a pussy..and i'm broke..so i cannot go back to the dentist to have him fill it (or possibly say i need other work..which i do).

Fill the hole with salt.

[solaris=amazing]

Lol, yeah i'm sure that'll do it...

I did a search on google, there is nothing out there. I'm talking about putting a filling in over a tooth that doesn't hurt, so no harm will be done..plus i'll save like $100 just to get a piece of filling from a shister dentist.

Figures, if there was a filling..dentists would be out of business..

no theres nothing like that really, except for various brands of tempory fills(like the one you have) that you can get at pharmacys. If it hurts put some clove oil on it and that will take the pain away temporarily. Unless you feel like having that tooth slowly and painfully rot away you have two options. A: go see a dentist and get it fixed, or B: Pull the tooth out yourself and let the hole seal up. If your serious about doing this yourself I suppose you might be able to get porcelin filling from a dental-supply store, but then you still need to drill it out so it will bond correctly, and then grind it down so it is smooth and won't cut your gums. I've spent so much fucking time at the dentist between fillings, extractions, braces, and root canals that it isn't even funny. thank god i have good insurance. Peace-

JB weld or some sort of epoxy might work.

*standard disclaimer* I'm not responsible for your mouth gettin' fucked up by you doing this.

Seriously though...go to the dentist and get it fixed.

Can you see inside the tooth? If so, your tooth might have already rotted away and all that's left is a shell. This happened to me and eventually is shattered in my mouth and had to have it pulled out. Not fun, and they didn't even give me the gas, just a stupid numbing gel.

No question: Go...to...the...dentist.


I have this friend, said his tooth hurt. I told him to go to the dentist. He said he was scared to go to the dentist. I asked why. He said, because every time he goes, they have to drill and fill. I asked him how often he goes...he said, when his teeth hurt. Hel-lo!

I cracked the bottom molar before the last like 3 years ago. I had the one behind it taken out cuz it cracked and was loose... broke apart when it was yanked... ouch. I still have that cracked tooth, but it doesn't really hurt much... weird.

damn that must hurt. i had a few dental problem, thing like overcrowding where the teeth would push each other outwards an they'll all end up crooked around my canines (the spikey "corner" ones) so i had 4 removed, it hurts even with injected anaesthetic.

also, my lower jaw was too far back, i had "blocks" which are like removeable plate braces with triangular block so when you bit it pulls your lower jaw forward, then i had 2 an-a-bit years of normal braces.

but if you can go to the dentist, it'll be better than using something else, which might have some dangerous chemicals, an the roof of your mouth is a good passage into you blood stream so any bad thigns could get there easily.

you get drunk quicker if you drink through a straw, as the alcohol hits the rof of your mouth the alcohol is absorbed faster an better, getting you more drunk in less time.

I hope by now you've at least made an appointment to see the dentist. They do more than just fill the hole - they remove any decay and more importantly they clean the area to be filled. If you don't clean it before it's filled you're asking for more decay and probably a root canal.

[solaris=amazing]

Thanks guys, well the hole is not to deep, it's just annoying to feel it-i cleaned it with various stuff before i put that temp filling in.so far so good. It's not like i'm putting a filling OVER decay, i know about that sh*t...and i wouldn't do it.

I tell you one thing, when (and i hope) i get hired by Bose, i'm gonna take advantage of the dental plan. Besides this hole, i got 2 cavitys just starting (decay).. It's one of those things where you HATE to shell out the money for, but it's money well spent.
