I have gagging reflux. That's the problem for RCT. Can I continue with temporary filling?
note: 4 years ago a dentist treated temporary filling. But from last 6 months that filling is destroying layer by layer and now it's become sensitive after sticking food.

Hi
No a temporary filling has already given you beyond expectation . 4 years is a good time for temporary filling to last .
You need to go in for complete RCT followed with capping if you intend to save the tooth.
