    Temp filling came out of root canal tooth
    Had a root canal done.No $ to have crown put on afterward.I think the temp filling has come out,and there is cotton like stuff coming out of the tooth.I thought it was a piece of food,(possibly) but have realized it was cotton.Dentist cannot see me to have cown put on for 1wk and 1/2.Can I pt dent-temp on to keep rest of cotton from coming out and contaminating the canal?
