Carrying broken dentures around while you travel is also very inconvenient. It's even worse when your dentures crack while you're commuting inside a train or a bus. It's really bad luck when this happens, but you don't have a choice but to cope with this fast before it's too late to do anything. Here are some recommendations for you if your dentures crack on you.
1. Make an appointment with the dentist as fast as you can
Don't waste time trying to find out if you can super glue the teeth back together. You probably can glue your teeth back but you still need a more permanent solution. The sooner you call your dentist, the better. Count yourself lucky if your dentures break during the week because by the time the weekend rolls in, your dentists are not around to accommodate you. Weekend denture breaks may mean you won't be able to enjoy a good weekend with your teeth intact.
2. Quick fixes
If you cannot wait, you can quickly fix your dentures temporarily. After all, life goes on whether or not your dentures break in the most inopportune time. Glueing your teeth back together could work for a short while. the glue could wear off in a few hours. Also, bear in mind that you may only be able to use super glue once.. You cannot use on your teeth what you use to fix the broken handle of your china vase at home. If you're traveling, you might not have any choice. You have to book an appointment with a dentist even if you're gluing an emergency.
