I can definitely appreciate how one would feel missing a front tooth, but I definitely wouldn't put something like that (toxic) in my mouth. Smile politely with your lips together for now - the dentists will be open soon.

They may call you back with a place to get seen. It may be uncomfortable and embarrassing but you might just have to wait it out for a few days.

Here in the States, I have seen some temporary filling stuff that is designed for oral use - don't know if would work for your issue.

Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 9 | I am thinking you might want to try a pharmacist and ask if they can recommend something if you don't want to call the local hospital. A quick Google search turned up a couple sites that suggest using a denture adhesive or even just a little bit of toothpaste to hold the crown in place until you can get to the dentist.
All agree, no Superglue.

The dental adhesives are actually "Class II medical devices" and the main ones they use are UV cured. You won't find this in your local pharmacy.
I wouldn't attempt using denture adhesives or toothpaste or you might end up swallowing it.

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | I've used the temporary adhesive also to replace a crown that had fallen out, but don't remember the name. I did get it at the drugstore, though and it was very secure, easy to use and lasted quite a while.
