Will temp tooth fall out when eating or brushing?

If you make your tooth well, it will not fall out. I eat with mine all the time and chew gum, and drink coffee. Have no problems other than staining. Pretty sure the manufacturer recommends not eating, sleeping or chewing gum with your temp tooth though!

I have a missing front tooth that I use temptooth for. (this product is awesome by the way totally worth the money!!) I leave mine in to eat all the time. It says not to but you can do it. as long as the tooth is in tight enough and you aren't eating something real sticky or gooey. A couple of times I ate something that was kind of sticky or gooey and my tooth came out in the food. I felt it right away both times and was able to just put it back in real quick without anyone noticing and was just real careful while eating the rest of whatever it was I was eating. At first I thought I shouldn't leave it in when eating something that could stain it like spaghetti with the red tomato sauce that it would stain it but I have left it in when eating these types of things and it hasn't stained it at least not where it is noticeable. I do take it out when brushing my teeth just so I can get the teeth around it cleaner without it in the way but if you had to brush in front of others I guess you could brush with it in. They say not to sleep with it either but I have a couple of times and it stayed in place and was fine. Again as long as the tooth is fitting tightly enough that it doesn't easily fall out. Usually I take it out at night though. I have made several backups to use just in case one does accidently get swallowed when eating or I forget to put it on it the morning. A couple of times I was so tired in the morning on my way out the door to work and just totally forgot about my tooth but luckly I had a backup in my purse that I could use and didn't have to go all the way back home to get it. If I don't tell people I have a fake tooth they don't even know.

It's not strong enough for chewing/biting and I haven't tried to brush it....wash it instead and take it out when I'm eating.

What I did was leave little wings off of the temp tooth and then pressed them into the depressions of the teeth next to the missing tooth and especially at the bottom to get into the little impressions there. When it cooled I had a temp tooth that actually snaps into place. Fits and feels good and most of all I can go out and eat in public. Thanks again Temp Tooth.

It won't do any harm if you keep it at room temperature, but it won't help the pain if it is at room temperature. I always keep mine in the freezer. I use them all the time! I love them! And they help so much. I have several of them. When I take one out of the freezer, if it gets too warm, I put it back in and take out another one. Having more than one guarantee's you always have a COLD one. I hope this helped. :)

Has anyone tried to use a dental adhesive with temptooth? The reason I ask is that there is some disagreement as to whether or not you can eat with it, and I was thinking if you used a dental adhesive, it would make it more anchored down which would allow for more pressure to be put on the tooth. I'm just wondering if long time users have any input into this question:).

Probably not. You still need the regular flossing sometimes especially after eating foods that are notorious for lodging in your interdental spaces or in the gum pouches. I do the regular flossing and "waterpiking" in the night and skip the flossing part in the morning. Best is try different routines - waterpiking with and without regular flossing. I think it also depends on your overall condition of teeth and gums. If you have any problems associated with them then you probably have to do both at least in the beginning.

Do not know! These chews are wonderful! Not easy for a dog to gulp. They are very hard so that to me freezing would not be necessary, and might change the taste! My dogs, LOVE these better than any chews, and I feel that they keep their teeth free from dental problems.

If you have decent water pressure now then it should be fine. The size of the hole in the tip of the pik that the water comes out of is so small that it doesn't take a lot of water to move through, but since it's so focused that small amount of water shoots out at a heavy strength. My water pressure is just OK, and after hooking up the Oral Breeze I couldn't even tell the difference. I've been using my Oral Breeze for 5 months now almost daily, when I'm out of town I actually miss my morning routine and wishing I could bring it with me. I don't think my teeth have ever been this clean on a constant basis. If you have decent water pressure now then it should be fine.

Temptooth is really only to be used to replace one tooth. I have been using it for about a year and it really works well. I don't think it would look natural using it for more than one tooth.

Boil a small pot of water once it comes to a boil shut off the heat. Put the tray in the water for 12 seconds. Then take it out with a spoon. Place it on your teeth bite down and suck in so no saliva gets in it. Bite down for 30 seconds then take it out to dry.

If the teeth are made correctly, with proper compression on both sides of the adjacent teeth, they will not come out on their own. It will take a reasonable amount of force to remove them. The only time they might come out is if you are giving a speech to a group of dentists.

It will not get stuck in the teeth, but some of the grated zest tends to stick on the side where the zest comes out, especially when the orange is very fresh. However, it's easy to remove with a fork, so you don't end up losing any. I have found this to be the best orange/lemon zester I own.

Should not be a problem although I usually do the treatment between meals. When finished I rinse with mouthwash to remove any lingering taste.

Yes, my wife's had some episodes with gingivitis where her teeth would be very loose, and after using this on a regular basis for a week or so, her gums tightened up tremendously. I've also had a couple of times where I'd gotten an cavity and it would cause an abcess to appear. With using it for 2-3 days, the infection was entirely gone.

No. I've been using mine for 6 months and every morning it is always in the same place in my mouth, no movement whatsoever. Great product and much cheaper than the $600 New Zealand quoted from my dentist

No. They're meant to be held in the mouth until they dissolve to let the beneficial bacteria take hold.

I don't think it would - but that's a guess. I couldn't see how heat would change the mouth feel, etc., as proteins typically don't become glass-like in this fashion.

Depending on the warmth of the house, it may still fall out. I put a little water and ice chips in then if need be, the next day stick the butter back into its little cup and put fresh water and ice in. Works like a charm and the water doesn't hurt the butter. My house is about 83-85 in the daytime while I'm at work (109 outside) and having soft butter at dinner while the house is cooling is still well worth the extra effort. Good luck!
