Crown & Filling Replacement by Toofypegs

Having to wait two months to get a dental appointment, I had to do something to fix my list filling. Luckily this product is very handy, following the instructions heat it up in hot water and quickly roll a piece in humour hand and squish it not the lost filling hole. The filing quickly hardens and protests the damaged tooth until you ca. Get it fixed.

Thanks to Covid 19 lockdown my dentist was shut and my gold inlay crown had fallen out. Luckily I have dentist friends and they advised me to properly clean and dry the tooth and surrounding area before applying the crown and fixative. I brushed my teeth, rinsed and then rubbed a clean towel over the tooth. I then rubbed cotton wool over my gums surrounding the area. I then rolled up a wad of cotton wool just like they do in the dentist and pushed that down on each side of the tooth to keep my tongue away and the area dry. The whole time I kept my mouth open and made sure I didn't wet the area with saliva (spit) or my tongue. Following the application instructions I didn't eat or drink for an hour. I'm genuinely pleased with the long lasting results. Key to success is properly drying the area of application before applying the fixative and they don't make this clear in the instructions, this is my only criticism!

During the pandemic my filling came out and I can tell you that I was grateful for the product that has now done what it was bought for. I did have to do it twice as I cut off to big a piece of the 'filling' material the first time and it was uncomfortable in my mouth so had to remove this. It's fiddly for sure but the instructions are great and you can also get a PDF and videos online so really the company have done all they can to help you do it.

As described and good product

I used this product hoping to temporarily pack a lost filling. I followed instructions and after the third attempt managed to fill the tooth only to find after an hour it fell out. It did not soften as stated so it was not easy to apply. A complete waste of money. I certainly wouldn’t recommend this product.

I would highly recommend buying this, my filling had come out and due to lockdown unable to get it seen to so my tooth had started falling apart and was extremely painful, could barely eat or sleep, I called my dentist and he recommended tooth cement, there were so many different ones I was not sure but I stumbled on this and it has been nearly 2 weeks now and it is still intact!! still try to avoid eating on it but I have been able to eat ice cream and have hot drinks :) I would highly recommend watching a youtube video instead of reading instructions, there is a 2 min video on how to use this product to so took me all of 5 mins to do it myself, also if it does come out there is plenty more left to replace it. I had used this for the filling so not sure about the crown filling.

Take with you on holiday etc. always have one in the house for emergencies, and, incase of any more lockdowns. I happened to have a box here which I gave to my son in law as his filling fell out in March during the lockdown when dentists weren't allowed to do fillings. Toofy pegs just about kept him going for months. He finally got the filling replaced in September - if it weren't for Toofypegs he would have been in even more agony. The dentist said this is the best bet for an emergency. They do tend to fall out after a couple of days though - obvs they are only meant to be temporary.

Found this difficult to use for back teeth. Not easy to soften and hardens too quickly, before you've managed to get in place. Managed to put it in last night, but about 12 hours later (which includes 8 hours sleep) it all came out, basically as soon as I ate something.
