At home it's very hard to treat dental situations without checking the condition of the cavity or examining iopa radiograph. But because of this covid situation if you are unable to get a dental appointment, you can use cavitemp in the cavity after cleaning the area with saline and sterilized cotton/ gauge.

Hello dear, please be calm .see temporary filling or cement could be done only if caries is excavated .so I suggest you to get directly permanent filling. If you feel pain and due to pandemic you can't approach the dentist, you can prescribe you some medications to stop the process till permanent filling .my code is bj6e1e regards.

No filling can be prepared at home. If you have pain cover the exposed area with softened sugar free chewing gum until you reach a dentist.

You can only place plain cotton there to avoid food lodgement there till you meet the dentist and get the required filling procedure done.
