A couple of people mentioned using super glue to hold a tooth in place, which is supposedly not very effective. One person mentioned " dental adhesives ". What are these and where do you get them?.

Dental adhesives are used in the bonding process, I don't believe that you can get them in open market. Also the conditions needed to make these work really puts its use way out of average persons hand.

Hi,
Please don't use super glue.  It contains a cyanide acid and can be very destructive to normal tissue and used too often can make you really sick.  It's not a good substitute for dental adhesive.  Toothpaste  or vaseline (you can mix it with cornstarch) works well until you can get to a dentist and have it done properly but there really isn't much way around that.  Nothing on the OTC market works on a permanent basis.
