At home dentistry
Well, I hate to admit it, but some times I can't afford to go to a real dentist so I end up patching a tooth on my own. With this dandy little kit I've patched and reinforced a few fillings and a crown that broke. None of the repairs have chipped or felt weak when chewing on harder foods.
SUGGESTIONS: 1. work in a cold room below 70F, if the room is warm the composite hardens faster making it difficult to work with. Otherwise you have to mix multiple small batches until you get it right. 2. Ask a friend or spouse for help. Trying to work inside your own mouth while looking at mirrors is more difficult than you might think. A second pair of hands will also ensure a cleaner fit, look, and feel. 3. Only mix the amount you need. No reason to waste a great product. If you can, dry fit a piece of clay or putty to get an idea of how much composite you need. This works really well for replacing a filling that has popped out. 4. Don't use the echant if any part of your inner tooth beyond the hard enamel is exposed. You will experience extreme amounts of pain!! If this happens, nutrilize the acid on the tooth with vinegar (do not swallow) 5. READ ALL instructions carefully and thoroughly so you know what you're getting into. This process takes precision and a steady hand.
All things considered, I highly recommend you go to a dentist if you can swing the finances!
