There is a crack line in my dentures.I can only go to the dentist on Monday to have a new one made.?

Can I now use 'super glue' on the crack so that the whole thing would not break in two? Is it safe to use in the mouth? It would take a few days to get my new dentures so in the meantime I have to use the crackedone and hope it does not break in two.What other options do I have? Help! Cannot function without them!

You can use Super Glue ONE TIME ONLY to fix your denture until it is convenient to take it for proper repair. You really must be careful to get the crack EXACTLY in the proper position. Super Glue seems to hold up for 3 or 4 weeks in the mouth (a hostile environment, if you think about it), but then it finally dissolves. I say "ONE TIME ONLY," because it also seems to attack the plastic with repeated use. When this has been done, the mating surfaces of the fracture become rough and then it is not possible for the dentist or technician to line them up exactly right and the repair is more difficult and perhaps more expensive. If anyone uses Super Glue to repair a broken denture base and violates this "ONE TIME ONLY" rule, it might even make the denture impossible to repair, so DON'T DO IT!





Are you getting my point that you can use Super Glue ONE TIME ONLY before you have it fixed properly? Thank you.





I advise against the repair kit someone else mentioned, especially since you are going to the dentist anyway. You'll just make a huge mess of everything and then it is difficult or impossible to correct it. The kits don't come with the experience you'll need to use the stuff right.
Reply:YOUR DENTIST CARES if he can get you new dentures in a few days. Especially if you like your dentures, be sure to tell at least 10 friends. Good luck. Now go out there and bite someone. Report It

Reply:dont use super glue i think there is a kit you can by to temporally fix them .
Reply:You can use superglue no problems... Superglue was actually invented for the medical field and is completley safe a stirle to use on the body, it just burns like heck if it's not dry when applied...





You can use superglue but it's only temporary...
Reply:superglue is fine-hold the halves in the correct position,get someone to run the glue along the crack, and without moving the bits, put it unde a running tap to set the glue quickly.Do treat it as a temp. job though it will seem very sound.i
