Fleczer – Temporary Dental Filling in Warsaw
Fleczer — Temporary Dental Filling in Warsaw
A fleczer is a temporary dental filling that tightly seals a cavity between stages of treatment and protects it from bacteria and food debris. It’s used, among other things, during multi-stage root canal treatment, for deep cavities close to the pulp, and when whitening a non-vital (dead) tooth. At the Adent clinic in Mokotów, a temporary dressing costs 50–100 PLN. Avoid eating for about 90 minutes after it’s placed.
What a Fleczer (Temporary Dressing) Is
A fleczer is a dressing made of an easy-to-place and easy-to-remove material that temporarily fills a cavity in the tooth. Unlike a permanent filling, it is not a final solution — its role is to protect the tooth and its tissues for the duration of treatment. It tightly seals the pulp chamber, so bacteria and food debris cannot get inside and trigger inflammation.
When a Fleczer Is Placed
A temporary dressing is used when treating a tooth requires several visits or time to heal:
- during multi-stage root canal treatment, between appointments,
- for deep cavities extending close to the pulp (a therapeutic dressing),
- during internal whitening of a non-vital tooth,
- as a surgical dressing after procedures in the mouth.
Types of Dental Dressings
Depending on the treatment goal, different dressings are used — from a temporary filling to a dressing protecting a post-operative wound.
Fleczer (temporary filling)
Temporarily seals a cavity between stages of treatment and protects the tooth from bacteria.
Therapeutic dressing
Contains a preparation that supports the pulp (e.g. calcium hydroxide) in deep cavities.
Surgical dressing
Protects the wound and supports healing after surgical procedures and extractions.
How Placing a Dressing Works — Step by Step
Placing the dressing is a short procedure, and its stages are always the same.
- Consultation and diagnosis
Assessing the condition of the mouth and tooth, and planning further treatment.
- Preparing the site
Cleaning the cavity or wound and applying antiseptic agents.
- Placing the dressing
Placing the material in the cavity or on the wound to protect it and support healing.
- Care instructions
Recommendations on eating, hygiene, and post-treatment care.
- Follow-up and replacement
Assessing healing, replacing the dressing, and scheduling the next stage of treatment.
Aftercare for a Cavity Dressing or After Root Canal Treatment
A few simple rules protect the temporary filling and keep you comfortable until your next visit.
- Don’t eat for about 90 minutes after the dressing is placed.
- Avoid sticky and hard foods, as well as chewing gum.
- Maintain your usual oral hygiene routine, unless advised otherwise.
- Contact the clinic if the dressing chips or your pain increases.
- Come back for your next visit on the scheduled date to complete treatment.
Aftercare for a Surgical Dressing
After surgical procedures, the dressing protects the wound — it’s worth supporting calm healing.
- Avoid brushing vigorously around the dressing; rinse gently.
- Do not eat hot, hard, or spicy foods.
- Apply cold compresses to the cheek to reduce swelling, and rest for a few days.
- Watch the wound — see a doctor if you notice severe pain, swelling, or discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fleczer?
A fleczer is a temporary dental filling (dressing) that temporarily seals a cavity between stages of treatment and protects the tooth from bacteria and food debris. It is not a permanent filling.
How long can you wear a temporary dressing?
A fleczer is a temporary solution — it’s worn until the next visit scheduled by your dentist, usually from a few days to a few weeks. Don’t exceed that time, to avoid the seal failing.
Does placing a dressing hurt?
Placing a dressing is a short procedure. For a deep cavity or after a surgical procedure, local anesthesia is used to keep discomfort to a minimum.
What should I do if the dressing falls out or chips?
Contact the clinic to have the dressing replaced. An exposed cavity is vulnerable to bacteria, so it’s best not to delay your visit.
Can I eat after a fleczer is placed?
Not right away — after a temporary filling is placed, avoid eating for about 90 minutes, and afterward avoid sticky and hard foods and chewing gum on the treated side.
