Question

Does anyone know how to replace a crown that came off a tooth without going to the dentist? crazy glue maybe?

Answer 1

FYI never, ever use superglue

why not?

this will make impossible for the dentist to properly check and glue this crown with dental cement

Answer 2

NO do not put that in your mouth, it can go down your throat and make you stop breathing.

Answer 3

Go to the dentist, its not worth s******g around in your mouth. If you haven't had it long, or there was nothing in particular that you did to cause your crown to come off ask your dentist if something could be worked out (faulty application???)

Answer 4

you need to go to the dentist IMMEDIATELY.  you definitely cannot get it back on yourself.  but make sure you save the crown because they're expensive the dentist will put it back on for you.  if you don't go soon you could actually lose your tooth it happened to someone my mother works with while she was overseas.

Answer 5

ha! that happened to my friend once right before a wedding he was in! he used crazy glue. it's ok for a day, but you really should go to the dentist to have it done right, cuz otherwise it'll just keep falling off and might cause more damage.

Answer 6

The "peg" the crown attaches to, must be sterile prior to the crown being replaced.  You cannot do this.  It must be done by a dentist.

If you put the crown back on yourself, you will likely develop internal decay and loose the root.  It will then get very expensive.
