Have you ever had one of those mornings that makes you think you’d be better off going back to bed? I tell you, I’m at that point right now, and I’ve only been up an hour! I was sitting here drinking my coffee and watching the news when out of the blue I had a chunk of something in my mouth. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it was, so I grabbed a tissue and spit it out. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I had lost one of my fillings. Now mind you, this isn’t just any filling, this is a tooth that had a major filling done less than 2 years ago.

I know that I’m not a dentist, but I did question my dentist when I realized he had put one of the newer white fillings in the tooth, rather than the traditional silver filling material. He assured me that this was how they did things “these days” and that I didn’t need to worry, it would last as long, if not longer, than the traditional silver fillings do. I guess he didn’t know what he was talking about, did he?

I could have dealt with this missing filling except for one thing, the pain from the filling falling out and the cavity being exposed made it impossible for me to drink my coffee. Now, I’m not one to make a big deal out of dental pain, but when it prevents me from drinking my morning coffee, then we have a major problem. Thankfully my hubby is the wonderful, sweet, kind and loving person he is, because this poor guy headed into town and went to the 24 hour pharmacy that was open and found a product that I had just recently heard about called Dentemp OS.

I heard about Dentemp OS from a friend who recently lost a filling. Her dentist was unable to get her an appointment until the following day and suggested this product to her for a temporary fix. She was very impressed with Dentemp OS, she said that it not only stopped the pain from having an exposed cavity, but it also allowed her to function as if the filling were still there until she went to the dentist the next day.

My husband “volunteered” to run to the 24 hour pharmacy and see if they carried Dentemp OS, and fortunately they did! So far I am very pleasantly surprised! It really does provide fast, temporary relief from the pain and discomfort, it’s ready to use right from it’s packaging and requires no mixing. I have another 10 minutes to wait, but according to what it says, you can eat on it within 30 minutes from the time it sets. It definitely is a wonderful temporary dental repair and a product that I’m going to make sure I always have in my medicine cabinet!
