Dental Bridge Adhesive?
 

My temporary dental bridge came out and I need to know what adhesive I
can use to keep it in place until I see the dentist in about 4 weeks.

Go to the drugstore and see what they carry. Use at your own risk.

I hereby retract my previous post. Pick up the phone and call your
dentist.

If Ihad to wait 4 weeks to see my dentist, I'd be looking for a new
dentist.
As for adhesives, the ones used for dentures may be adequate for a
cosmetic fix.

I'd get another dentist. Four weeks is obscene.

I'd call the dentist back and tell them you need an appt right away to have
it recemented temporarily. There's really nothing that you can use as a
temp fix. Denture adhesive won't hold it, and anything else, say things
like super glue which are not for biological uses would be dangerous to you.
Not to mention, that if they bond to the preparations and the dentist has to
remove it, there's the risk of damaging the tooth prep or margin and thereby
rendering your permanent bridge currently under fabrication useless and a
new one will have to be made. I can pretty much guarantee that the dentist
won't eat the lab costs for a new bridge if you ruin it's usefullness by
using some form of glue on your teeth. That's the reason why they use the
temp glue, it's easy to remove without damaging the underlying preparations.
It's pretty quick to recement and reasonably common for it to let go prior
to the final restoration being completed. The dentist should just say "pop
on in at 'reasonable time' and I'll put it back in"

They do make an OTC adhesive for exactly
that purpose. It is not permanent,
but it will hold for a few days.

This has happened to me nearly every time I had restoration work done.

Call the dentist. They should squeeze you in within a day or two.
You
probably won't see the dentist; the assistant usually takes care of
this.
There should be no charge.

I had a gold crown come off..was on a lengthy Winter vacation away from
home..5 months
I cleaned the crown thoroughly and the "stub" left inside, then applied
superglue to the crown and re-applied.
As my dentist does, I "bit down" on a stick for about 10-15 min til the
adhesive set up.
It held up fine for over 3 months til I got home & to the dentist. YMMV

There's that one they advertise all the time. ???? That might be good
only for a day or two, but what do I know.

Plus at the drugstore tehy sell temperary cement. I think that's what
it's called. The druggest will know. I think you want one that is
definitely temp. That will break when tugged on. The label will say.
It's online too but I'd ask a real paharmacist.
