Right. Today was looking into getting fillings done. It was going to be a few dollars, maybe 100, 150. So, came across some good information and decided to give it a go. The filling I had, fell out the other day while demolishing a wall for someone. There was no pain and the hole was clean, so this was worth a shot. It seems if you get Zinc Oxide powder, and Oil of cloves (100%, called Eugine oil/Euginol - extract from the bud, not leaf) you can basically have the ingredients to make a good temporary filling that may last up to 2 years, but more likely 6 months. Anyways, dentists use the same stuff. What you do is make 1 Teaspoon of the Zinc Oxide powder, and then pour about 5 or 6 drops of the clove oil into the powder and then mash it up good. The compound I made was a bit like putty, and then you just push it into the hole area. Now, saliva actually makes the filling harden, but in the initial few hours after applied, obviously be a bit careful that it won't dislodge. So far it is perfectly fine, and would easily suffice, until a better filling can be done at some point. Very impressed with this, wish I knew this years ago, but there you go. The Zinc Oxide powder can be had from beauty shops and some chemists, and is also a rash inhibitor better than talcum powder. It cost me $4 for the dust and $8 for the oil, so £12 total which is fair enough, and will last for a lifetimes worth of fillings.
