Wouldn\u2019t you know that while I was on my dream beach vacation, the crown on my front tooth broke and split in half! Since I was out of the country and still had a few days until going home, I panicked. I had no idea how to go about finding a dentist and was afraid it would cost a fortune, so I did the easiest thing I could think of \u2013 I bought some super glue for a quick fix and got back to the beach. It totally worked, but now that I\u2019m home and need to see my dentist, I\u2019m afraid I’ve caused a big problem. Will my dentist be able to get it off to replace it? — Leon<\/p>\n

Leon,
\nLet’s face it… nobody wants to look in the mirror at a broken tooth \u2013 especially on vacation. But while DIY may be your specialty for home projects, it\u2019s really best to leave any tooth \u201cfixes\u201d to the professionals.<\/p>\n

It can be intimidating when you\u2019re away from home to try and find an emergency dentist (even more so when you\u2019re out of the country and you\u2019re dealing with a possible language barrier, not to mention possible insurance hassles). But here\u2019s the deal: an emergency dentist<\/a> could have temporarily re-attached the crown properly so you could get by a few days until heading home. Try not to worry too much because your dentist will be able to get the crown off. Most bonding agents and cements he uses are stronger than any super glue you could buy. However, there\u2019s no guarantee that it will come off in once piece, so you should be prepared in case you need to have it completely re-done. If you ever find yourself in this predicament again and you can\u2019t get into your dentist right away, check at your local drug store for over-the-counter dental cement. It can be tricky to use and it will be temporary, but it’s a much better choice if you have to do a quick “DIY” fix.<\/p>\n
