01In brief
Lost filling: is it urgent?
Get it seen quickly
A filling that falls out leaves a hole in the tooth: it becomes sensitive, food gets stuck in it and a cavity can grow. It is usually not a serious emergency, but the tooth needs to be repaired within the next few days, and sooner if it hurts. Rinse with lukewarm water, chew on the other side and call the Go Dentiste clinic in Valleyfield at 514-533-3368; if you are in pain, ask to be seen the same day, subject to availability.

04At the Valleyfield clinic
How the tooth is repaired
The dentist examines the tooth, removes any decay, then repairs it. A medium-sized hole is usually repaired with a white composite resin filling, often in a single visit.
If a large part of the tooth is missing, a crown may be suggested to protect it. If the nerve is affected, a root canal may be needed. The options and costs are explained before starting.

06FAQ
Frequently asked questions: lost filling in Valleyfield
Why did my filling fall out?
Wear over time, a cavity forming around it, teeth grinding or a hard food: the dentist looks for the cause so it doesn’t happen again.
I swallowed my filling: is it dangerous?
Usually not: a small swallowed piece of filling passes naturally. If you are coughing a lot or having trouble breathing, get medical care quickly.
How long can I wait?
As little as possible. Without a filling, the tooth is exposed to bacteria and can crack. A repair within the next few days often avoids a bigger treatment.
Will the new filling be tooth-coloured?
In most cases, yes: white composite resin fillings are commonly used. The dentist explains the options based on the size of the cavity.
