My temporary crown is loose. Dentemp from Wallgreens does not help. Composite filling underneath the temporary fell apart - there is not much of a retention now. Will see my dentist only in a month. What can I do to make my life easier?

Answer: Temporary crown is loose
You really need to see a dentist as soon as possible, a month is too long to wait. If the composite under the crown is broken down, then it will need to be redone and the crown re-prepared. Most of the do it yourself temporary cements don't work that well for very long (if at all), and if the tooth breaks you might need a root canal or an extraction.

Answer: Loose temporary crown
There is nothing YOU can do. See a dentist to build up the tooth stump with composite core materials and make you a new temporary crown.
