Rct: See your dentist and get the temporary filling replaced. Your dentist can advise you when the best time for the definitive restoration will be.

Temporary filling: The tooth may need a crown or or permanent filling long term but as an immediate solution the tooth may be re-built with temporary filling that last for about six to eight weeks. Good luck!

Temp material store: if you feel comfortable you could use a store bought temporary filling material (brush, clean out area and dry out the best that you can first) If not...call up your dentist....plz let them know when your due date is because some may be a little skittish about it treating you at your stage of pregnancy
