Has anyone of you ever glued a piece of broken tooth back onwith superglue, if so what happened?

Question

Did it kill the tooth or was it fine forever?

Answer 1

Superglue is used in many surgical procedures and so should be safe to use. However, if you are just gluing back a piece of tooth you will almost certainly be doing it in a non-sterile way and may be creating a whole lot of other problems.

In an emergency its probably ok, but I wouldn't personally do it as it might cause more harm for when you finally get to see the dentist.

In an emergency, if a filling drops out, I dry the tooth off as much as possible using kitchen towel and use a lump of softened candle wax in it. It works really well as a temporary filling without causing any great problems, is non toxic just in case you swallow it and feels fine in the mouth without causing any further damage.

Answer 2

Hi,.Yes some years ago I stuck a filling back in which came cleanly out of my tooth. It was a lower molar. I used superglue and I thought it would be fine. I was so pleased with the result. However, some days later the tooth began to ache and then ache really badly. The dentist said that an abscess had formed. After several attempts to root fill it which failed (abscess kept forming) I had to have the tooth out. All seemed to be well until I had my next check up. The socket had not knitted together properly, apparently this is a sign of some underlying condition. I had to have my gum excised and the bone cleaned and 'roughed' up so that the healing would commence. It did and it is fine now. Its tempting to try things yourself,I know.....you may be lucky, but my encounter with supergluing caused an infection to travel down the nerve canal to my jawbone. Good luck with whichever way you go.

If you go into Boots they have some tooth repair kits, near the dental floss, I would try that!

I haven't but I assume it would not last that long. Saliva would break the glue down in a matter of days.
