Missing Temp for 2 Days, New Temps Keep Falling off?

August 6, 2012
Asked By:Lacii

I was in a temporary for two months. It fell off and I swallowed it. My dentist was on vacation and knew this but he was ok with me being without a temp on both teeth for two days. Now my new temporaries both have fell off at least four times each and I wake up frequently with throbbing and aching jaw. Why are these temporaries falling of so much? I wore my first temporary two months with no incident. Could it be because I was without a temp for two days and the teeth shifted?
