Re: Facing a root canal or extraction

I also have a tangential question regarding the temporary filling. I
don't know what type was used, but it was mixed together by the
hygienist under the dentist's guidance and resembles white bathroom
caulk.

Should I avoid brushing around the area of the filled tooth? Should I
avoid certain types of toothpaste? (Usually, I brush with Sensodyne).
I brushed the tooth *very gently* today and in doing so, I think I may
have removed a tiny bit of the caulk, but it's hard to tell. The
"hole" in the tooth still appears to be well-covered.
