30 minute rescue



Hello fellow flossers...as promised...here is a very straight forward case from today.

Like many of us... this patient had put off doing dental work for a while and presented with a tooth that had a large filling fall out. The patient did not want a cap placed so instead we opted for a quick procedure...30 minutes... I was able to place a tooth colored composite filling. With today's newest generation bonding materials available, I felt this was a reasonable choice. Although this tooth really needs a cap this will probably hold up well for many years.
