NO!!!! apart from causing untold damage to your gums, the superglue 'melts' the interior of the crown (cap) and would then make it unable to be used ever again. If the cost of getting it re-fitted by a dentist is too high, go to Boots Chemist, they sell products for sticking them back in, they are primarily for emergencies only, ie on holiday and can't get to a dentist, but they do work and are a lot safer

Really, it's far best to go and see a dentist but I believe that dentists sometimes use superglue, so theoretically, yes. I think a two part epoxy would probably be stronger, though.
DON'T, however, try doing it yourself! At least have someone with a steady hand do it for you! Superglue sets FAST in the presence of moisture, so one misplaced drop of superglue and you will be in A&E for a glued cheek or jaw! Ouch!
Protect the rest of your mouth with tissue. Check the loose cap for a good fit, using tweezers, if possible. Dry the tooth and the cap with tissue. Open the superglue and apply a very small drop to the cap. Quickly and surely press it into good contact with the tooth and hold it for 10 seconds with a piece of tissue. Wipe any excess glue off with the tissue and remove tissue and rinse the mouth.

It says you can use Krazy glue to help before a visit to your dentist...
But it also states this in an ad...
Resist the temptation of superglue, and go for a dental repair kit instead. OK, it might mean an embarrassing encounter with a pharmacist, as well as having to face dentistry-related paraphernalia... but it really is a much safer choice. Boots stock the Dentanurse kit...
So, who is right? Take your chances, and really think about what to do...

My dentist told me if a cap ever fell out to use a dental adhesive such as poligrip or fixadent, and then go to the dentist. Super Glue may damage the cap so that it can't be reapplied, which would mean them having to create a new one. I think it would be cheaper to pay the dental visit for them to recement the cap (less than 100), than them having to create a new one (between 400 to 1000). Just my guess though.

NO! Don't use superglue in the mouth, not only is it not good for you, it can cause damage to the crown it won't be able to be put back on by a dentist without having a new one made. If you need to put the crown back on temporarily until you can get to a dentist try using fixodent or some denture adhesive, just remember to take it out a night so you don't swallow it in your sleep. Please just see dentist it will save you in the long run.

No, is the answer, superglue is toxic if ingested and I don't care how careful you think you are, you will ingest some. Just go to the Dentist and have it stuck on properly. If you can't be arsed with that, pop down to the chemist and they normally stock a temporary cement - that should keep you going for a while.

I work as a dental assistant and I am going to tell you the same thing we tell every patient... DO NOT USE SUPERGLUE ON YOUR TEETH!!!!! Sometimes toothpaste works to hold things on once it dries, and if that does work then head on over to Walgreens and pick up some FIXODENT... this is used to help dentures stay in place... but I am begging you, PLEASE DON'T PUT SUPERGLUE ON YOUR TEETH!!!

I wouldn't recommend it. Phone your dentist and ask what the cost is for a re-cement. In the office I work in it's not that expensive, and you can be sure it's done with the proper materials. It's up to you, good luck.
