Product Summary
To repair a broken or chipped tooth, an ideal filling would be strong, and bond well to the tooth. Dentists commonly use glass ionomer for emergency repairs. This is the same material found in this Micron kit, and is an excellent short-term or intermediate dressing to fill and repair your tooth. Glass ionomer is strong, wear-resistant, and adheres to teeth.
It’s important to mix the glass ionomer precisely to avoid it being too runny or setting too quickly. Be careful not to place the filling too high or in between teeth as this can cause issues with your bite or gums.
