DenTek Temparin Max, Home Temporary Dental Repair Kit for Reparing Lost Fillings or Securing Loose Caps, Crowns or Inlays, 12+ Repairs

EDIT: After using this and going back to the dentist, he commented on the neat job it did and it posed no difficulty in removal. I had an accident in my past that left me with a fractured tooth. I was advised by the dentist that it would eventually fail, but as it wasn’t causing any problems, I may as well leave it and monitor it. Several years on and it caught up with me. A chunk broke off and left me with a sharp edge. The dentist did an emergency filling with an appointment for a permanent repair in 4 weeks, but within 2 days it broke out – curse my love for salted peanuts! I took a punt with this and wish I had done it earlier rather than pay for a temporary filling. It was really easy to use. Inside the pot is a little roll of a thick paste. Kind of like putty but a lot thicker and dryer. You simply use the provided tool to take a sliver off, roll this into a ball and push it into the void. There were more detailed instructions, but that was it in a nutshell. A wet finger can smooth it over and it naturally dries to a hard layer. Probably best to do it before bed so you don’t have to think about it. Recommendations – Clean your teeth and rise with mouthwash – you don’t want to trap bacteria in the gap. Don’t put too much in to start with. Get the feel of where it is before you push it in as it can be awkward if you need to use your least dominant hand and you can’t directly see it in a mirror. If you get it wrong, remove it straight away before it hardens, although not a major problem as it will eventually come out. Any overfill should be smoothed off and removed. It is only a temporary fill and not fix. It can keep food debris out, prevent anything touching a nerve and thus relieve pain. You may need to repeat application depending on where it is used. For me it was on my molar on a side that I chew the most and absentmindedly eaten on that side and broken the repair twice – will someone take these peanuts away from me! It can easily break off, but it is only designed to be a fix until you get to see a dentist within a few days. Unfortunately, whoever stated this clearly doesn’t have an NHS dentist with a backlog of 6 weeks. Bottom line – can save you a lot of pain and is a good enough fix until you can get a permanent repair. Might be something to take on holidays from now on.

Tricky to do but it does work as a temp fix, came off few weeks later but re applied until I can get dentist, very white though

Great item. Allowed me to replace a lost filling until I could get to the dentist. Easy to use. 'Filling' lasted a long time. Good value for money. Great to take away on holiday 'just in case ...'

I've bought this product a good few times now and I've held my tongue until now on this issue but too many times you get delivered a product that's dried up beyond the point of return. No water added will ever make it work properly and you have to buy more. Even though the product is cheap, this loop can go on forever and the product doesn't last long enough in your mouth to make it viable even when you get a good batch. Think you're better spending a bit more for something that'll actually work.

I bought the DenTek Temparin Max Temporary Dental Repair Kit after losing a filling and needing something reliable to get me through until I could see a dentist. Overall, it did exactly what I needed it to do. The application tool is handy and helps place the material accurately, although it is a little on the long side. Because of that, it’s not ideal for teeth right at the back of the mouth, which took a bit of patience to work around. That said, once the material is in place, it’s easy enough to shape and smooth. I found the best results came from applying it the night before. By the next morning it had fully set solid, and I was pleasantly surprised at how secure it felt. I was able to eat normally on the same side of my mouth without any issues, which was a huge relief. For a temporary fix, this product is strong, dependable, and gave me real peace of mind. It’s not a permanent solution, but as a stop-gap before a dental appointment, it works very well and does exactly what it claims.

First of all areived late and ordered for next day as ai had toothe ache because of the gap. Not very good at all, won't cover the top of the tooth properly, takes ages to set and starts crumbling apart after only a few hours. I followed the instructions and tried 3 times. I have also used another product before, similar paste type product but it moulded better, stayed in place, set quicker and actually lasted weeks till I was able to get to the dentist. This product was cheaper than the last and now I know why, will not buy again.

Easy to use , good value lasted well

I must be using it wrong, take small amount using my fore finger and thumb roll it in to a ball then force in to the area in your tooth you want to fix as a temporary filling. After a day or two at most, it comes out as it breaks down in very small pieces.

Not working for temporary crowns . Even after carefully following the instructions, the crown kept falling off within hours.

un ottimo sostituto di livello dentistico e non come quelle otturazioni da farmacia che dopo due pranzi si dissolvono . qui parliamo di 1 o 2 mesi di tenuta senza particolari problemi. piu' che sufficienti per pianificare una visita odontoiatrica in serenità anche se siete fuori in vacanza al vostro rientro.

My crown fell out and this stuff really works... just clean the tooth and the crown, dry it, put this Den Tek filling in it and pop it back in. Worked great!! I do recommend and hope I don't have to buy it again.

Buen producto, cumple con su prometido.

No good
