Dental crown fell out. Is there a temporary fix until I can get to a dentist?

The crown is over 5 years old, and I can't feel anything to superglue the crown to.

Does it hurt? I'd just leave it until Monday unless it was painful. I don't think looks alone justifies paying huge amount to an emergency dental clinic.
Reply:You need to look in the yellow pages for a 24 hour emergency dentist and talk to them about this.
Reply:My husband had the same problem and used denture adhesive (Polygrip) to stick it back on until his appt. Good Luck!
Reply:pack it with wax
Reply:There is a temporary cement for crowns you can use that will glue it back in. I usually find it in the dental aisle of drug stores or walmart.
Reply:There is a product called "Temperin" it is sold in major drug stores like rite-aid and walmart. The price ranges from about $2.66- 5.00.
Reply:Please don't use Super Glue. If you do you will not have a tooth left in a few weeks. I had a patient try that once...very bad idea.





Drug stores cell temporary cement, denture adhesive works well and sometimes just toothpaste will work until you can see your dentist.
Reply:Ask at the pharmecy, they have temporary filling material which may be helpful. try not to eat on the tooth and see ur dentist asap.
