What do you do when a front tooth breaks at the most inopportune time? The best way of replacing a missing tooth depends on how desperate you are and how big of a crisis you are in. If you can arrange to seek help from a qualified dental professional, that is clearly the better choice. However, this option is not always possible.
It may be necessary to use DIY methods initially that allow you to make yourself presentable before arranging to see the dentist for a temporary tooth replacement solution that yields a better and more long-lasting result.
In this article, we examine several temporary tooth replacement options to consider while waiting to see a dentist. First, we will discuss some over-the-counter do-it-yourself remedies. Coincidentally, the type of solutions will also progress from those that are very temporary to treatment options that are more long-term and allow you to live your life while working toward a permanent solution.
There, you are likely to find orthodontic wax. While not a permanent remedy, white orthodontic wax can be shaped to fill the void left by a missing tooth in a pinch. Because it is sticky, orthodontic wax will adhere to the neighboring teeth. Once it has been shaped, it is possible to further refine its shape using a toothpick or wooden skewer. Obviously, this is a very short-term fix as it is susceptible to distortion and temperature changes from eating and drinking.
A similar front tooth replacement option is an emergency tooth replacement kit like Temptooth or Smile Renewal. These kits are sold at drug stores and supercenters and come with thermoplastic beads that are placed into hot water until softened. Question: can you make multiple teeth at the same time Answer: Hi Carol, Temptooth is meant to replace a single missing tooth, as you need a tooth on each side of the missing tooth for the Temptooth to "wedge" against when placed.
If you have more than one missing tooth but they're single missing teeth, in different locations, you could make multiple teeth at the same time. If your missing teeth are next to each other so you have multiple missing teeth missing in a row Temptooth may not work for you.
