Tooth Filling?

I believe my filling has fallen out and i am not at home. I have checked with teh dentists down here and they can not get me in until the day i fly home. Is there any way to make teh pain less or have a temporary filling??

Answer:
As the previous person responded, there is a temporary filling material you can get at a drug store. There's several different brands so just ask the pharmacist what they have available. Follow the directions on the pkg. and you'll be OK until you can see your dentist. Good luck while you practice a little dentistry!
There are temporary filling materials at walgreens. Make sure you clean out the tooth good before you put the material in. It will protect it from food getting into it and hot/cold sensitivity till your appt.
