I read the reviews and almost didn't try it. I was in pain and out of options. Follow the directions, it works. I used it the first time Thursday and its Tuesday and still intact and I am pain free. Ive eaten and brushed my teeth and everything I do normally. This product works.

Have tried this stuff before. Sometimes it worked just OK, mostly it didn't work at all. It is very hard to get a good bound and the filling material will dissolve quickly.
This time, I decided to buy a more expensive 3M material that will last from a dental supply store. This is not available at Walgreens, It costs more upfront, but unlike this stuff, the repair will last more than a day or two.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by tabby what do u have to lose
I rated this as a 3 star because it stopped the pain. I have used it before on my back lower tooth and it worked well. I just used it in the side of my upper back tooth and its awsome.. I'm really happy that this worked so well for me. It may not work so well for everyone but what have you got to lose right? you should try it if it dont work your still in pain right were you were before you tried it.You may try it and it could work very well for you so you feel better in the end... Well good luck everyone... Hope you feel better..............

I have been using Dentek Temparin Max for over a year now. And have only had to replace it twice in that period since I am not able to go to a dentist. Just follow the directions and it will work. This is not for people who have half a big tooth missing or a whole tooth for that matter. I have a whole in the front bottom row of my teeth that would cause my tongue to scrape up against it every time I moved my tongue and with this stuff in there I can't even tell it's there. So it's great!

Rated 2 out of 5Â by jmd2 Not strong enough to rebuild a broken tooth
I bought DenTek Temparin Max because an old ceramic crown broke, and the sharp edges were cutting on the side of my mouth. I didn't have pain at the tooth area, so pain was not an issue for me. That tooth was long dead. I applied DenTek as was stated on the package, waiting until bedtime, so there would be plenty of time for it to set. Unfortunately, it never really got very hard. In the morning I was careful, yet some small pieces came off. Later, I accidently chewed some peanut butter on that area, and most of the DenTek disappeared. There was still a little there, but not enough to cover the sharp edges. It's the weekend, and I don't even have a dentist locally, having just moved to this area, so I need this to at least last for a couple of days. I have applied some more DenTek, to cover the sharp edges, but my confidence in this product is gone. I would like to know what yolee did to make it last for a month. Perhaps this product works better if it's in a more interior spot, like a filling in the middle of a tooth, or when it is covered by a crown. However, it is not strong enough for the edges of broken teeth.
Perhaps a better alternative would be to use a mixture of Zinc Oxide powder and Eugenol Oil, if you can find those ingredients. Walgreens can order the Zinc Oxide powder, and you might be able to find Eugenol at a health food or aromatherapy place. Just be careful, as swallowing Eugenol can be bad for you. There is a University of Michigan video on YouTube that tells how to mix this stuff properly.
Of course, your best bet is to have a dentist fix the problem, if you can afford it. On monday I will try out Backpacking Sue's idea, and look for a local dental school, since I have neither employment nor insurance.
