Biting through a tooth filling can be alarming, uncomfortable, and confusing, especially when it happens unexpectedly during a meal. In this episode of Smiles of Parramatta, we talk through exactly what to do right away if a filling cracks, loosens, or falls out, and why acting quickly can save you from pain and more complex dental treatment.

We begin by explaining why fillings fail—whether due to normal wear, chewing pressure, or underlying decay—and how to recognise warning signs such as sharp edges, sensitivity, or sudden pain. Listeners will learn safe, practical steps they can take at home to protect the tooth temporarily, including what foods to avoid and how to manage discomfort until professional care is available.

Midway through the discussion, we highlight the importance of seeking prompt assessment from a trusted local dentist.
