Question:
Several years ago I had a partial break on my right front tooth. The dentist put I guess a partial fake piece back on to make it look normal again.

It fell off and I do not have the money to get it fixed. I still have the piece and it will stick on my tooth, but I cant eat or drink with it in.

What can I use to make it stick on again? I'm so embarassed and desperate! ... Visitor from TX

Answer:
Large drug stores like Walgreens and CVS sell kits designed to provide temporary repairs for bridgework, crowns, plastic retainers and denture products.

Included in these kits are adhesive products that are safe to use. These adhesives, however, don't have the endurance of professional grade products.

You might try contacting some local dental labs in your area. They may be able to repair it for you.
