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. Duff |

As for adhesives, the ones used for dentures may be adequate for a cosmetic fix. |

Dental Bridge Adhesive?
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" "Duff" wrote in message ...

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

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. Cindy Hamilton |

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 |
