DENTAL PROBLEM: Can anyone tell me where I can buy a crown repair kit?

It temporarilly fills a broken crown or filling. Usually you can get them from Tescos or Asda but I'm not too sure. How much are they? I think they come in a little tub. Thanks so much xxx

seen them at the local chemist /try your local chemists
Reply:Mr. Munya said to use super-glue.
Reply:The local hardware store!
Reply:You can get the temporaty crown cement at a drugatore like Walgreens or Rite-Aid, some place like that.
Reply:It would be best to get in to see your dentist to have this checked out. If you can find some parafin (wax), that will fill the hole until you can get an appointment. Are you in pain?





Definitely do NOT use super glue!
Reply:you can get them from Boots but you really need to see a dentist..its only something called Cavit and is very temporary ( i am a dental nurse )
Reply:Over the holidays we had the same problem. We got a temporary crown repair kit at CVS, but the crown was broken, and the temp stuff didn't hold it together, it just came apart again. We super-glued the crown together, and then used the temporary cement to attach the crown, and that worked great. It is ok to super glue parts of the crown, but I don't think I would superglue the crown in. I think the price, if I remember right, was like ten dollars, and we were able to use it like two or three times.
Reply:Should be able to get one from large Boots stores, think they cost about £5, but dont quote me on that!


If it is a broken tempoary crown it should work, but if it's a tempoary filling such as CAVIT, pop in and see your dentist if poss and get him/her to replace the temp filling, should only take a couple of sec's, must admit in all the years i've been dental nursing i've not heard of anybody buying this product to replace a temp filling!
Reply:Boots sell them
Reply:try toofy-pegs, £5.00 from most local chemists, the powder comes in a small capsule, put small amount of it in a small bowl and add water -- only use drips of water gradually to make a paste - it dries very quickly read the details first.
Reply:Travel Dental Kit from Boots the Chemist is 9.99 and contains what you need and more.
