Temporary filling
I got my temporary filling done months ago in 2018 had to get it replaced with the permanent one within some days but I somehow completely forgot about it. And now today, the filling has started to come out. Am I at any sort of risk? Help please.

Hello sir..
health concern is important first....no excuse for it...you need to visit dentist immediately ...Get IOPA(x-ray) done on that involved tooth...if there Is no pulpal involvement then you can go with permanent filling
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist as soon as possible...Delaying the treatment will affect the teeth

Health should be your primary concern. Forgetting is not an excuse. Next time make sure you remember
Don't panic.
The filling can be removed and filled permanently now after thoroughly examining the tooth and ruling out any sort of infection.
If the tooth is painful filling will not help
Next Steps
visit a nearby dentist asap
