If its coming out it isn't doing its job .. take it out when you eat or sleep.. call the dentiest first thing in the morning. Your dentist should have a call service or emergency number trying calling his regular number and see if you can find someone to talk to..

You can go to your nearest pharmacy and ask for temporary filling material. I t should be about five dollars. Looks like putty. Don't need to take the old one out if not completely out just patch it up. It is normal for the top part to come off loose. As long as the depth of the whole is sealed you are ok. Try avoid eating on that side. Good luck

try not to eat anything because food might get stuck inside and that can really damage the area. if you are going to drink something , drink onl;y with a straw. and take it off befor going to bed so you wont swallow it. ans call your dentist in the morning

HELLO,
IF THE TEMPORARY FILLING OR PART OF IT COMES OUT YOU WILL BE O.K.
CALL THE OFFICE IN THE MORNING TO SEE IF YOU NEED TO WAIT OR COME IN RIGHT AWAY.
DO NOT TRY TO TAKE IT OUT BECUSE IT FEELS LOOSE, JUST CALL AND FIND OUT.
