Toothache medication (Eugenol) application:

Adults and children 2 years of age and older:

• Rinse the tooth with water to remove any food particles from the cavity
• Moisten a cotton swab with toothache medication and place in the cavity for approximately 1 minute
• Avoid touching tissues other than the tooth cavity
• Apply the dose not more than 4 times daily or as directed by a dentist or physician
• Children 2 to 12 years of age: Should be supervised
• Children under 2 years of age: Consult a doctor or dentist

To replace a lost filling with Temparin:

• Wash the cavity area with tepid water;
• Using the provided applicator, scoop a small amount of Temparin from the vial, and roll it into a ball with your fingers;
• Pack tightly into the cavity area, slightly overfilling the cavity and tamp into place with a cotton swab moistened in water;
• Close your teeth together, as if you were biting down on a piece of paper, and chew or grind a couple times to create a comfortable bite before the material hardens;
• Use a moist cotton swab or the applicator to remove excess Temparin from around the area;
• Moisture will accelerate the set;
• Temparin will set softly in your mouth within a few minutes, but avoid chewing on the repair for 2-3 hours to allow the material to set

To secure loose crowns, caps or inlays with Temparin:

• Try the crown or inlay first to see if you can fit it accurately back onto the tooth surface;
• If you are not able to do so, then do not proceed further;
• If the crown has a post attached to it or if there is tooth surface remaining inside the crown, Temparin may not adhere;
• Carefully rinse the tooth area and the inside of the crown, cap or inlay with tepid water and do not dry;
• Using the provided applicator, scoop a small amount of Temparin from the vial, roll it into a ball with your fingeers and place evenly inside the crown, cap or inlay;
• Place the crown, cap or inlay on the tooth and gently bite down, applying pressure to push into position;
• Temparin will begin to harden within a few minutes, but avoid chewing on the repair for at least 2-3 hours to allow the material to set
• Use a toothbrush to gently clear any excess material from around the crown, cap or inlay
