Experience with detachment and effectiveness after temporary tooth fillings with GI material

Due to my pregnancy, I am unable to get X-rays and my dental treatment is restricted. I had a temporary tooth filled with a material called GI, but it fell out after only two weeks, so I was worried. In this post, I will honestly share this experience and discuss the effectiveness of GI material.

Hello. Since I am currently pregnant, I am unable to have X-rays taken at the dental clinic, which has limited my treatment options. A part of my tooth was damaged, so it was temporarily filled with a material called GI. Honestly, I was curious to see how effective it would be. However, the temporary filling fell out sooner than expected, after just two weeks.

I chose GI material because it is convenient for temporarily covering teeth and has low toxicity, making it relatively safe even during pregnancy. However, since it is temporary, its durability and adhesion are inevitably inferior to permanent materials. My dentist also warned me in advance that it might not last long since it is a temporary material, and after experiencing it firsthand, I think they were right.

I experienced some slight discomfort after it fell off, but fortunately, there was no severe pain or inflammation. However, I was more worried because getting additional medical treatment was difficult while I am pregnant. Considering the effectiveness of the GI material, I felt that while it is fine for a temporary solution, it would be difficult to endure for a long period.

Managing dental health during pregnancy is difficult due to many restrictions on examinations like X-rays, but I feel it is necessary to consult with a dentist consistently and manage my condition, even if cautiously. I also plan to carefully monitor my condition and formulate a treatment plan going forward.

I shared my thoughts on the limitations and effects of GI ingredients based on my personal experience, and I hope this serves as a helpful reference for those in similar situations. I wish you all good health and hope you receive safe treatment without overexerting yourself as expectant mothers. Thank you.
