AKDENTAL,

Nothing is really going to adhere to the metal. If it is cold sensitive to air, he could try putting some ortho wax over that area. But it will come off when he eats. You can usually buy ortho wax at a drug store. It is used for people who have braces on their teeth as they put it over the metal brackets to prevent the metal from irritating the inside of the cheek.

Please be sure that the dentist follows the proper removal protocol before he goes for his appointment as the dentist cannot follow it without the proper equipment and there are no substitutions for the equipment. It is critically important for your husband to be limited to the exposure of the mercury in that filling when they take it out.

QUOTE=AKDENTAL;1103940]Thank you very much, Bryanna, for your help. Called the dentist and he can't get in for another two weeks. Is it wise to put some temporary filling material on the side of the tooth where the amalgam filling is showing? It seems like it's where the tooth cracked and is where it hurts when he taps on it?[/QUOTE]

Thank you very much again for your help, Bryanna!
