I had a Juvederm filler put in, but now have a dental emergency. My care letter from my procedure says that I shouldn’t apply pressure or move the filler for a couple of weeks. What do I do if I really need to see the dentist? Will keeping my mouth open move my fillers?

Amanda,
If you have a dental emergency, you definitely need to see your dentist or an emergency dentist if you don’t have one. Make sure they’re familiar with fillers. Then make them aware that you’ve just had them placed. They can be aware and careful around the fillers to make sure nothing moves.
A quick x-ray may determine that you don’t need any work done immediately. If you do have to have work done, the dentist can be super careful and make preparations for your special condition.
