I can not remeber the brand name. But they have them by the toothpaste and orthadontic wax. I have done this twice. they have both a type you have to mix up the paste yourself and one already mixed--check the directions and get the pre-mixed if you have a choice. It is not very expensive--maybe $5. They will hold you until you can get to the dentist. Although they say you can eat on them--do it very carefully and try to avoid.
They actually work pretty well.
Before using wash your mouth out good with salt water and make sure it real dry.
If this does not hold you--and there is still pain--you best contact a doctor, dentist somehow--try an emergency room.

I'm not sure of the name or brand of the temporary filling cement, but I do know that Wal-Mart carries one that is located near the toothbrush and toothpaste isle near the dental floss. The one that my husband used after his filling fell out came in a very small, round container. However, the type that he bought was also temporary and kept falling out as well. Good luck!

no big deal. mine did the same thing last week. call your dentist make an appointment. if there is no pan when brushing or eating then your doctor will schedule you a regular appointment, but if you are having pain speak up so he can get you in asap. it just mean you have exposed nerves in your tooth and its not a comfortale thing.

Even if you DON'T HAVE MONEY or insurance, they can't deny you service. They can still help you out, and are willing to may a repayment plan where you pay a couple of bucks a week or so until you've repaid all the debt.

Just read the label. Get one that is "ready to use" or "premixed" or something like that. They are a lot easier to use. Good luck.

same thing happened to me eating a lolly (candy) If you are in enough pain they should see you immediately at the hospital or emergency room. How are your acting skills?
