Zinc Oxide Eugneol Cement - Dental Care Kit

Being fair I was definitely skeptical of this "tooth repair" kit..So far with expectations that it's a temporary fix it's actually pretty good and easy to use and seems fairly solid after day one...It is a challenge getting the resin to set exactly where you want and keeping it dry for 5min can be a channeling task but once it dries it does feel solid and should last a week or 2 easilyWho it's for*Temporary cosmetics fix for a event* filling in a gap in theeth*Prior filling fell out (temp replacement)Who it's not for*Someone looking for a permanent fix of a tooth*Don't have patience to test and work on best results*Can't follow instructionsFinal thoughts for me at least I see this as more of a "make-up kit" for your teeth and just like make-up a woman wears it's only temporary and should be taken as that because you will replace and fix prior work fairly often but it does the job for those of us that can't afford a $3k+ tooth extraction and repairFor me so far day 1 results are good and I will update in the near futureUpdate: first week!! Awesome results it takes time to properly mix and set but once set properly the results even in front teeth where a large amount of pressure and use its really solid and works wellUpdate week 3:This stuff is awesome I have had a front tooth repair and a moler that was broke to the gum line that I repaired 2 weeks ago and they are still in place and I have actually was able to completely chew ice on the right side of my mouth for the first time in 15 years and the repair is still perfectly in place.This stuff works and is definitely worth a try and can be a true game changer for some and at least a good standby option for anyone who may need a good temporary (few weeks maybe more)A few tips that helped me get better longer lasting results1.do repairs about 15min before you go to bed (most important step)2. Brush your teeth about 30min before you apply the repair3. Follow mixing steps but be prepared to make adjustments for consistency and amount needed4. Have a few napkins that you can dry the area in your mouth a few seconds before applying the paste5. After mixing and giving a few seconds for the mixture to become just hard enough to be like playdough or bubble gum the best way to apply is with your fingers6. After you apply to the tooth have a 5min timer set on your phone and start it and just stand there and make sure the area stays dry (it's hard the first few attempts)7. about 15min after application the repair will be solid enough for you to get ready for bed I recommend a few napkins by your bed to gently keep the tooth repair dry as you go to sleep8. Wake up the next morning and you should be good to go the mixture will definitely be solid and after a few attempts you will get it exactly how you want itThis stuff works and gets rock hard if you use it correctly!!! apply it successfully!!! And keep it dry enough to cure properly..

Update: 1.5 years later. This has stayed and held perfectly. Im having the tooth treated next month. My dentist was impressed!!==Original review below==I had to use this 3 times to get it right but when I got it right it was PERFECT. I bought this 3 months ago when I was in the middle of a schedule that nightmares are made of. 18 hour days. Grabbing things when I could to eat in a hurry. Grabbed a nacho and chomped down and instant mind-searing pain on my one good molar. Yep my teeth have gone to the tooth fairy in pieces over the last 10 years with no dental insurance. Great. Part of my molar was now missing. 3 days of no chewing anything and only eating slowly, a bite at a time on the opposite side. Anything near the tooth would kill me. Would have to constantly brush to keep my mouth clear of anything that could possibly get in there.I bought 3 different sets of dental repair kits out of desperation. This is the one that worked. I followed the instructions exactly. I even researched how to do it online. Here is what I found:1. Thoroughly brush and floss the area. You're going to be sealing it up and you don't want to be sealing IN food particles.2. You're going to need cut and folded up paper towels thebsize of a gauze, or gauze if u have it, to keep the saliva away from the area. Just like they do at the dentists office. I used 3 sections. You want a piece between your cheek and the tooth and between your tooth and your tongue. I used another to bite down onto the area I was repairing once the product was in. You want a little extra virgin or cooking oil for this 3rd piece if u use it, just a drop or two.. U don't want a bunch of papertowel stuck to your tooth forever. this is part of the prep work before you mix.3. You have to work fast after you mix. You only have 10 seconds ish to get it where it needs to go.4. Read the directions through twice.5. U need a mirror and light to see where you're going. I didnt use it to actually put it in my mouth. I couldn't see past my hand, but I did use my phone with the flash on and took video of it beforehand. Then I felt it with my finger as I looked at it on the video. Then I took the little spatula with nothing on it to figure out where it needed to go in my mouth. You need to know where you're going.6. My first two tries it worked but crumbled apart within a day. I think it mixed up too thick and I used the directions for the portions. So I just eyeballed it the 3rd time. You want it the consistency of an overworked piece of chewed up gum, then hit it with another drop of liquid, mix again and get it on the tooth. You can add to it if u need to but don't go nuts adding too much. Keep that cooking oil nearby and put some on your finger so you can use it help shape and smooth the product into and around and off of your tooth.The third time was the charm for me. Its been 2 months and I haven't had to redo it (yet). Its been great to get me through without starving to death.

This stuff is pretty darn good . . . and I definitely don't regret buying it as well I highly recommend this product, but it all depends on what you're using it for. Don't be fooled by comment claims that people are making entirely new teeth then eating as normal while those 'teeth' last for months on end because I can tell you from experience that is not the case.I have a bottom, back broken molar that was filled a long time ago and over the years it has deteriorated to the point that the only dentist fix is extracting and replacing it. But I don't have thousands of $s lying around to do that, and that particular molar is the only one I have left on my bottom left jaw and I don't want it pulled, so I happened upon this product after hours of perusing the internet.The first few times of refilling/repairing my broken molar had the filling lasting only a day or two before I had to refill it with more of this dental 'putty' because what I used crumbled away. But that's because the comments that you can start eating as normal again after only an hour or so convinced me that I could.Now, after many uses of this product I fill my molar and it lasts about a week or so WITHOUT ME CHEWING ON THAT SIDE before I need to refill it again.But that's okay with me because it is saving me lots of money.Just be aware that the first few times you use it you will make mistakes in a trial-by-error process, though after that you'll get the hang of it.You take a scoop of powder, cut it in half, apply two drops of the liquid, mix those drops with half the powder for 15 or so seconds, then you mix the rest of it together for 45 or so seconds. After that you have about 30 seconds max to apply it to your tooth and set it/pack it into place before it fully hardens.I've found it easiest to go through this process then after that just take the little 'wad' of putty, place it on my fingertip and apply it directly that way to my tooth instead of using the utensils provided, as this ensures the best packing/coverage of the exposed area of tooth.After that I avoid chewing on that side of my mouth as much as possible because doing so more rapidly deteriorates this temporary dental putty (one of the main reasons why I bought this stuff was the sharp, broken edges of my molar were constantly cutting into the inside of my cheek, and this stuff fixes that problem really well really fast).Pretty much I now have to reapply the putty to my molar around once per week, maybe even a little longer.I WISH there was a permanent bonding version of this available instead of this temporary solution, but I guess that's what paying big bucks to the dentist is actually for.All in all I still definitely recommend this product, but be aware that people claiming they've fixed their teeth, or even created entirely new teeth, then eat as normal while this stuff lasts for months is simply untrue.Don't get me wrong, I am glad I discovered and use this product (I actually bought a second 'back-up' kit about two weeks after buying and using the first), but it is in no way a permanent fix. I gave it four stars because it doesn't last nearly as long as described, but it does an amazing job of 'fixing' a broken tooth . . . however temporary.I would advise buying one of these dental repair kits even if you don't need it just to have it on hand in case of a dental emergency. It will provide you a quick fix that will hold you over until you can see a dentist or, like me, prolong your eventual dentist visit if your situation is not an emergency.

I had a back molar break off. I had no idea I even had a cavity there until it happened a week ago. I was hesitant to spend $40 on something that may or may not work and based on some of the not so great reviews. I followed the instructions. One scoop of powder, divide it in half on the paper they provided. Put one drop of liquid on one half of the powder (liquid comes out fast), mix it and then mix in the other half of the powder. It can be hard to work with bc it's a small amount and sticks to the plastic stir stick, but I quickly scraped it to the the end and smeared it into gap in my back molar. Then did my best to really pack it on there with the stick and my finger. Then I mixed one more batch and covered it a second time. I'm really amazed with how hard it is once it dries and how well it works. During the first 5 minutes I did not think it was going to work out, I didn't think I mixed it well enough bc I was in a hurry to get it in before it dried but it's been almost a week, it is still there and hard as a rock. I've eaten everything with no issues. No pain and it's not close to breaking off. I'm pretty confident this is long lasting. Also before I put it in I did take a metal tool and try to clean out the cavity the best I could and brushed my teeth a few times. I also rinsed my mouth with peroxide several times for about an hour to make sure make sure it was as clean and bacteria free as possible before I applied it. Before I applied it I used a paper towel to dry the area as much as possible to help it stick to my tooth with minimal moisture. I also tried to keep my mouth open and moisture free as possible so it could dry and harden. I know I need to go to the dentist for a better fix but I really feel like this stuff is just as good as the dentist. And the amount they provide will last forever.Update: it's now the beginning of March and I originally used this in October. It is still fully intact and have had no issues. I did want to make another comment about first use. Message sure to start off with a small amount and add to it if needed bc of you use too much or don't position it right it's going to feel uncomfortable when biting down and hitting the opposite tooth. You want to make sure it connects properly once chewing or biting down bc once it's applied, it's long term and nearly impossible to remove. Go small and packed down and add if needed

It took a couple of tries ,but this stuff really works. I had to have a dental exam and cleaning and two dentists didn't say a word about my repair. After 3 months. The tooth is still there .I've got a mouth full of these guys so I think this stuff is worth every penny.
