It is probable that people are underestimating the problems and pain that will be associated with loss of professional dental care. Some thought should be given to tools and skills necessary. Family members are missing the old days of silver fillings - they lasted a long time at least partly because silver is oligodynamic.

New fillings don't have that and will likely not last as long. Not having fillings myself at this point, I can only relate what I have been told. Maybe SmileDocHill will chime in.
This substance shows promise for relief in dental emergencies, and is made of items that have a long shelf life:

Mixed with a little silver compound this could be helpful for longer-term treatment.
Ideas welcome.
