DenTek Temparin Max, Home Temporary Dental Repair Kit for Reparing Lost Fillings or Securing Loose Caps, Crowns or Inlays, 12+ Repairs

EDIT: After using this and going back to the dentist, he commented on the neat job it did and it posed no difficulty in removal. I had an accident in my past that left me with a fractured tooth. I was advised by the dentist that it would eventually fail, but as it wasn’t causing any problems, I may as well leave it and monitor it. Several years on and it caught up with me. A chunk broke off and left me with a sharp edge. The dentist did an emergency filling with an appointment for a permanent repair in 4 weeks, but within 2 days it broke out – curse my love for salted peanuts! I took a punt with this and wish I had done it earlier rather than pay for a temporary filling. It was really easy to use. Inside the pot is a little roll of a thick paste. Kind of like putty but a lot thicker and dryer. You simply use the provided tool to take a sliver off, roll this into a ball and push it into the void. There were more detailed instructions, but that was it in a nutshell. A wet finger can smooth it over and it naturally dries to a hard layer. Probably best to do it before bed so you don’t have to think about it. Recommendations – Clean your teeth and rise with mouthwash – you don’t want to trap bacteria in the gap. Don’t put too much in to start with. Get the feel of where it is before you push it in as it can be awkward if you need to use your least dominant hand and you can’t directly see it in a mirror. If you get it wrong, remove it straight away before it hardens, although not a major problem as it will eventually come out. Any overfill should be smoothed off and removed. It is only a temporary fill and not fix. It can keep food debris out, prevent anything touching a nerve and thus relieve pain. You may need to repeat application depending on where it is used. For me it was on my molar on a side that I chew the most and absentmindedly eaten on that side and broken the repair twice – will someone take these peanuts away from me! It can easily break off, but it is only designed to be a fix until you get to see a dentist within a few days. Unfortunately, whoever stated this clearly doesn’t have an NHS dentist with a backlog of 6 weeks. Bottom line – can save you a lot of pain and is a good enough fix until you can get a permanent repair. Might be something to take on holidays from now on.

Good one but it’s temporary

Needed this as my filling has fell out and trying to get into a dentist is impossible as we all know So very easy to use just cut a small piece off and roll it between your fingers and put it where you need it It’s white in colour and if a good quality Really good value for money and comes in a little air tight storage pot I used it 4 days ago and it is still intact

Application and drying difficulties and fell out after 30 minutes

I would not recommend this at all, first of all it is really hard to put this on as a temporary filling because as soon as it comes in contact with your saliva, it becomes really difficult to fix it properly into your tooth. Also, even after like the cement/filling was set, it came off for me in like 2 days and I had to do the whole thing again. I bought this thinking it would be a temporary solution until my dentist appointment, but my dentist seriously told me not to ever use this again. I also consulted another dentist friend, and he said the same thing, that you should never try to use temporary fillings like this on your own, especially if you plan to use it for a long time, because it can cause infections and your teeth might become unsalvageable. I had this on for almost one and a half weeks, and when my dentist finally opened it up, he said that the filling had made the decay or infection inside worse. That was my experience, and my dentist strictly told me never to use anything like this again. If your pain is unbearable or anything, just go to the ER and ask them to do a proper temporary filling until your GP appointment. That is the only advice I can give. I would not recommend using this. If it is just for a day or two, it might be okay, but using this as a long-term solution is likely going to cost you a lot in the future. My dentist told me, had I waited a bit longer, they would have had to remove my teeth. So this is my experience, if this helps someone.

If you have a dark spot in your teeth that you’re self conscious about, this is perfect. I bought it for my wedding because I knew I wouldn’t be able to take care of my front tooth and it worked perfectly. I applied 2 hours before the wedding and you can eat, drink, lasts days sometimes. Really boosted my self esteem and looked great on wedding pictures

Brilliant! Easy to apply and stays secure until you can get to the dentist.

Easy too apply, wasn’t too impressed personally, I know it’s called a temporary filling, but with the 1st clean it fell out.
