I just had a temporary filling and said to come back after 2 months does the TF last for 2 months

Q. Hi, I recently had a filling done which was very painful so the dentist replaced with a temporary filling/dressing to aid healing and said to go back for a replacement filling in 2 months. This seems like a very long time (and in that time I’ll be going abroad). Im really concerned that the TF may not be designed to last that long and something may go wrong, especially when Im abroad. Can you advise? Many thanks.

A. The filling can be made of a strong material that can last that long, however if you’re worried ask your dentist to check it over before you go away
