My son has a cavity i know how to do the filling( i paid real close attention during my last one)but....?

Question

where do i go to buy the special plaster or can i just use joint compound

Answer 1

If this is not a joke, you are a moron. And you should let your son practice with your drill on you first.

Answer 2

If he has a cavity you don't need plaster, that is use if you were going to make a replacment tooth or cap. You need to drill the cavity out and fill the hole with lead soilder. You also need flex and a soldering iron or tourch. you should be able to get all the things you need at the hardware store. The other thing you could use to fill the hole is two part epoxy, you don't need the heat and it maybe a little more comfortable for you son then the heat of the tourch.

Answer 3

I think you should try atleast!

The filling compound is a mercury and silver mix.  I would start with a 1:1 ratio.  Ensure the cavity is thoroughly cleaned of all foreigh matter and Dry!  Then force the filler mix into the cavity "Quickly"!! as it will set very soon...  

Let me know how you go!

Answer 4

please don't try you'll probablly make it worse, just go see a dentist

Answer 5

now this one is a good one.First of,youre not qualify as a license profession to do the filling.I suggest you bring the kid to a real dentist.lol.besides,I think it is illegal.

Answer 6

Do not do it yourself. ;_o It won't turn out right. There's a reason people go to dentists. They have the special equipment.

Answer 7

You either are trying to post a foolish question or you are beyond help.

You lack the tools, equipment, skill, and training to do this.

Stick to the things you know.  You do not know dentistry.

Answer 8

i would advise not to do the filling. if you don't want to pay to go to the dentist, a lot of technical schools that offer dental assisting or dental hygienist programs have to do clinicals and offer a lot of services for really cheap or free. look into that.
