Filling been bothering me for a week or so now, today noticed it had come loose, and now it's come out all together!! Annoyingly I only had it done maybe 2 years ago...!
What do I do now? Is it gonna be really sensitive if I try and eat/drink?
Also a real wuss when it comes to dentists, cried for this filling last time!
Do I need to get to the dentist ASAP? Or should I be able to put up with it? It's third from the back! TIA

Keep it clean and get t the dentist ASAP.

I've had lots of teeth and fillings that break. If you're lucky, they'll just be able to stick the filling back on, without much other work. They've done hat to me in the past - no drilling, no injections, just stuck the thing back in, and it's been fine for a long time now.

Go and get some temporary filling stuff from the chemiist to keep food out of it and then see the dentist as soon as you can. Like Lady said, it may just be a case of popping filling into it.

Didn't know you could get temporary bits from a chemist! Will get some today and hope for the best until next week. Thanks!
