The tooth is number 19. It has had a root canal and build up work. The only discomfort I'm having is when I'm trying to bite or chew. I would like to remove the putty so I can install it straighttemporary crown I had installed yesterday. It fell out within four hours after leaving I left. I waited 4 hours to eat/drink anything, per Dr order. Attempted to refit, w/ temp crown putty (Dr's suggestion). I installed crooked. Suggestions how to dissolve putty ?
