Here are some ideas for a temporary filling: http://www.ehow.com/how_9596_temporarily-replace-tooth.html. It used to be that you could get zinc oxide power and oil of cloves at the drugstore but I don't know if you still can. - Steve N

I just lost a crown on a back tooth and have found there is a large cavity. There is no infection. I was wondering if I put a tiny piece of silver off the end of one of my electrodes into the cavity would it keep it from getting infected until I can get a dental app. ??? I know the pioneers put the silver coins in their water containers to keep them drinkable & in their milk to keep it from spoiling. This may sound crazy but I am curious & maybe a bit on the drain bamaged side :-)...Lois Also does anyone know of anything to use to fill a tooth cavity ??? JB Weld, epoxy, ???? { I know super glue works to hold a crown on a tooth .}
