Case Description
I have had 2 procedural root canals to lower right #31. I must go back for a third time because I do not respond well to the anesthia used (meaning it wears off too quickly). On my last visit a temporary filling was put into place on the side of the tooth secondary to a cavity (hence the reason for the root canal). I just bit into some food and lost that filling. The only thing protecting the nerves at this point is the filling placed on top of the tooth. I'm worried about further infection. Problem is I am at work, and can't contact my dentist until morning. What can I do in the meantime? It is starting to hurt.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
