Wrigley puts out a gum called 'Freedent' that doesn't stick to dentures. I've had it 'try' to stick a couple of times but it comes off. 99% of the time it does not stick.

I am not sure what you mean, but: If you are talking about the crown PORTION (top) of the tooth, if it has broken off, you have to cut with a scalpel (Bard-Parker) just a bit around the gum, then you use a periosteal elevator to loosen the peridontal ligament all around the root of the tooth, then you get forceps that have the same shape as the root you are trying to remove (sort of a birds beak) to grab the root and wiggle it around until it comes out. Hopefully, if the root is otherwise healthy, it WONT CRACK.........if that happens, you just have to take more time to remove the pieces. Now, WHY is the tooth being extracted? You (DEPENDING ON THE HEALTH OF THE TOOTH IN QUESTION) can do a pin build-up of the broken off crown, and use a 'mold' to make a stub and then do an impression, and make a new crown, you don't necessarily HAVE to extract the tooth, unless the patient is requesting it because of money constraints.

I have some brief dental assistant experience. I don't want to delete the answer below, but please do not recommend anyone to superglue anything into or involving the month. A temporary crown needs to be re-cemented by your dental professional, or if that is not an option, temporary dental adhesives ARE available over the counter at most pharmacies.


Superglue is not something that should be used on any part of a living organism, the least of the worry being if you drip some accidentally on your tongue or elsewhere in your mouth. It is a VERY harsh chemical if applied to the wrong area. Cyanoacrylate can also cause an exothermic reaction with certain organic compounds, you wouldn't want that to happen in your mouth.



Bottom line: don't risk it, buy the proper glue or go to your dentist.

If you look after it then it should last you for the rest of your life, but this means seeing your dentist every 6 months to once a year to have your remaining teeth cleaned and have your partial checked for any weak points. I had my partials for 25 years, but decided I wanted to get new ones that clicked behind my eye teeth instead of a wire up by the gum of my eye teeth. I take good care of my teeth, but unfortunately, genetics has a part in whether you have strong or weak teeth. I have never regretted getting my partials and take good care of them and see my dentist every 6 months.

It is a softer acrylic under the denture, put there for sensitive gums. # Denture liners can be hard or soft, temporary or permanent. # Denture liners can be done in several ways. a) A hard reline done by a Dentist in the office chair side with self cure materials b) An impression material placed in the denture by your Dentist, and then sent to a dental lab for technicians to be replaced with permanent hard or soft relining material. c) There are also a variety of over the counter lining materials available including soft, hard and denture cushions. Caution should be used with these materials as consumers have ruined their dentures with the use of some of these products.

The brightness of a tooth is a function of how light is reflected off the enamel. Whitening agents work by dehydrating the enamel, that is, by removing moisture on a molecular level from within the enamel. This increases the amount of light that is reflected off the tooth, and therefore it makes them appear whiter. There is no indication at this time that this is harmful to the teeth in the long term, however, some people will experience an increase in temperature sensitivity when they whiten their teeth. Porcelain crowns and tooth-colored fillings do not bleach because the agents cannot remove moisture from them as they do with natural enamel. Over time, the moisture will return to the enamel, and the whitening process will have to be repeated to maintain the new whiteness of the teeth.

You should expect to pay for the filling for the first placement. If you should pay for subsequent fillings on the same tooth depends on why the filling came out. If it was due to trauma, such as getting hit in the face, then yes, you probably ought to pay for the replacement. On the other hand, if it simply broke off, it may have been that the dentist was trying to be too conservative and placed a filling where a crown was really needed. In that case, the doctor ought to credit you the fee for the filling towards the fee for the crown.

If you suspect that the dentist is simply incompetent, seek a second opinion or just find a new dentist.

It is much healthier for your gums to sleep without dentures. It will irritate the gums in your sleep which will result in sores on the gums. The gums need time to rest and to allow normal stimulation to maintain healthy gums. Also the dentures will collect plenty of germs in your mouth during the day, so it is good and recommended to soak them in warm water or a denture cleaner at night. Make sure to keep a routine cleaning of your dentures to insure healthy gums.
