So I broke a filling and it's going to be a while before I can get in to see a dentist. I've had a fairly large temp filling made from this product in for about two months and it's still going strong. I'm not saying you *should* utilize this product for that long, but you certainly can. There are a few caveats though.First of all, fitting is a bit harder than with one of the paste-based fillers. You need to estimate how much material you need, soften it in hot water, roll the pellets into a single ball and then firmly press it into the gap you're trying to fill. Then you need to bite down to form the filling to your bite and quickly remove the filling while it's still soft so that you can trim off any excess. You can re-heat the filling in hot water to extend your working time. I also found that you can make minor adjustments to the fit while the filling is installed by holding a small spoon or other metal implement in hot water and then using that to carefully sculpt or trim the filling, though I don't recommend this as there is a small chance of burning yourself.Caveat number 2: hot food and drinks may soften the filling slightly, changing the fit/bite.Caveat number 3: heavy use causes wear and extrusion over time. I've noticed that the plastic gradually extrudes through the gap in between my teeth, requiring occasional trimming of the extruded bit. This means you're probably going to get a higher than recommended dose of microplastics. Likewise, I've noticed the exposed surface wears over time, creating a rough surface, though consuming hot food or drink smooths the surface back out.All in all, I'm pretty happy with this product.

Tried so many times to make this work and it doesn’t work for back teeth. Not even sure how it would work for front teeth, to be honest.They are plastic beads, you heat them up and mold them. Then take it out and let it harden and then once it turns white, you insert it back. I’ve used temporary dental cement so I figured this was a similar concept for a cheaper price, but this did not work at all!I had a temporary crown on a back molar that broke, the middle part of my actual tooth is gone so I’m constantly getting food stuck in it and wanted a temporary fix until I could get to a dentist. I got a dental cement and that worked well, but it would break apart over time. So, while looking for other options, this seemed to have good reviews. I have no idea how.The problem is you can’t keep it in the tooth as it dries (says not to), but when you take it out, it seems to slightly change shape, just enough that it will never exactly fit like a cement would. Basically, it will sit in the missing spot, but it’s literally just sitting there. It’s not “anchored” as they say it will be. I tried using a dental pick to carefully remove it as to not damage the shape. I tried reheating and remolding about 20 times and had the same problem every time.You can’t eat with it because it will just fall out and the worst part is so matter how small I made it, it felt uncomfortable and was easily pushed out by my tongue. Also if you eat anything hot, it melts.Then I said forget it, it’s not working, I’ll just return and use the money to put towards cement again because at least that holds. I just received the package, I’m an entire month before the return window closes, but the company will not allow you to return it and refuses to refund any money for their product being defective. I would contact Amazon, but it’s not even worth my time. I’ll use it as hot glue (it’s basically the same exact thing).Terrible quality, uncomfortable, not sticky enough, not durable, not even a short term solution, and horrible customer service… Save your money, find a different product. This is not it!!

I managed to break off a sizable chunk of a pre-molar and promptly sliced my tongue when I used it to locate where that "tiny rock" in my mouth came from whilst flossing one Friday night.No dentist I'm aware of here on Earth works weekends so I was up to my own devices to solve the problem until I could get in and have a dentist fix it.There are many options, so I tried this as it's a relatively inexpensive solution. I also bought a more expensive option that required a knowledge of chemistry and sculpting skills... I was desperate.This package contains small plastic(?) beads you heat in hot water, then one squishes them together and stuffs the mass in the area needed. The first time I used too many beads and ended up with a large gob I ended up breaking in half and reheating to try again.You only need about 5 or 6 beads for half of a missing pre-molar (unless you have a really big mouth and teeth)I heat my water in the microwave and then use a spoon to set the beads in it. As soon as the beads turn clear you can squash them together and fix the problem. I recommend getting it in place and then biting down while still malleable so it meshes with teeth that will come into contact with it when you bite down/eat.I recommend a mirror as well.This works much like the old wax the orthodontist used to hand out, but better. It hardens and doesn't stick to food (unless it's hot). When hardened it turns white so it blends in well.I change out the plastic fix every morning and evening for sanitary reasons. As my broken tooth is in a tight spot I have to soften the plastic with a cup of hot tea and get creative pulling it out. (I will admit to using small needle nose craft pliers - don't judge. Also, don't yank. Get it heated well enough that it will slide out without resistance.)You could reuse the plastic by remelting it, but considering the price and the fact I want to keep the area clean, I throw it out and melt fresh beads each time.I should mention that eating hot foods will mush it around and create weird plastic flaps on the fix, which if you're like me, will drive you no short level of insane. I recommend chewing hot foods on the opposite side of your mouth.This has worked so well that I haven't tried the more expensive solution, and likely won't.I do recommend getting to a dentist ASAP as this isn't a permanent fix, but it works beautifully until you can and protects your tongue from getting shredded.
