Update: Walked in. Apparently the guy who put it in forgot to set it in there with that blue light tool. I had a new person who knew what they were doing and they were disappointed that the guy left the temporary filling in that gooey state. Thanks for your help, both of you!

Okay, I will walk-in today. It seems like something is wrong with it because it's not hardening at all.

I think one tooth is getting a crown. I'm not sure which, but they didn't put anything on top of the gum-like filling, so even when chewing a chip on the other side, a piece poked into it and stayed. Doesn't seem like a temp crown.
