I have 4 veneers on my top teeth, have had no problems with them for 6 years and then literally 2 hours after my dental surgery closed to all but emergency patients, one of them fell off. FFS.

I have tried Toofypegs which works for about 24 hours and then I need to apply it again.

So, is superglue a good idea or can anyone recommend a different product? I can't not have it on for however many weeks/months until I can see a dentist again.

A crown fell off on holiday one year. I superglued it back on and it lasted another 2 years.

Ugh, that sounds like my timing, for these types of things!

My Mum's friend superglued a crown back on successfully, for a couple of years.
Just be sure to get it on straight.

I am notoriously risk-averse, and trying to do your own superglue repair to a tooth sounds fraught with danger to me! It seems to be a thing, though, so good luck Smile

Does that not count as an emergency? Without the veneer to protect it the rest of the tooth can be damaged, infected.

Our dentist isn’t doing check ups but is available for repairs etc

Is it sore? if it's just a veneer I would just leave it, maybe use sensodyne to stop any sensitivity. I'm

isn't superglue toxic?

Greenbutterlfy566 · 02/04/2020 13:21

Don't put on superglue!

Try ebay and search for Crown repair

You could try it but I'd be worried about the glue causing damage to the tooth.
You might stick in to your lip.

Pingbloodyping - who is your dentist?

Bigjobbiewheecker · 02/04/2020 14:16

Ping not if it's just a veneer, very little of the tooth is removed for a veneer so kind of like a false nail.

I'd use no nails 👊

Don't use superglue, you run the risk of killing the tooth's nerve-leading to root canal or worse, an extraction.
Leave it alone, keep it clean.
No, a de-cemented veneer, however unsightly, is not a dental emergency.
