Chipped tooth - anyone done DIY dental?

My front tooth is chipped , actually it's been chipped since two weeks after I got it but I've had a small crown on there. Tonight it's fallen off and disappeared. I don't have £250 quid to get a new crown. Hell, I don't have £25 quid.

Is there a product to do your own DIY crowns? And has anyone else used one?

My dh has used a kit where you make your own tooth... it actually works really well and is only a few quid. You make it to click in between 2 existing teeth. It kept him going for a few months between affording dentist trips. You have to take it out to eat, but as far as temporary teeth go, it done the job lol.. let me find a link x

Cheers Tickety, I don't have that much of a space , it's more of a quarter of the tooth

How long have you had the crown, mine came out within a year and they replaced it free of charge

I got the new adult tooth when I was six? Maybe seven? And a couple of weeks later I was playing with my big hunk of plastic Sindy car, fell flat on my face and chipped it. I had it sorted when I was a kid, so we're talking 35 years probably!

The irony is, it's only been this year that I've been in a household earning enough money to pay for dental treatment (and prescriptions, that was a shock, I'm on between 3 - 6 different meds a day. I've gone for a pre-paid thing because I don't have £40 or more a month for prescriptions)
