Hole, cracked, filing out

To handle a hole or cracked filling without pain, clean the area gently with brushing and use temporary filling cements. These can be purchased at pharmacies and supermarkets, but reading the instructions before use is important. Ensure the tooth area is dry for proper bonding. Avoid very hot or cold food and drinks. If there is slight pain, follow the same instructions and consider taking painkillers like Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, but do not exceed recommended dosages. For extreme pain or swelling, contact the dental practice for additional help.
