    Using super glue on filling?
    I have a filling that keeps popping out. I am waiting to get into a new dentist and don't know how much longer I can hang on to this filling and pushing it back in!! The tooth is pretty bad off, damaged that is. I am curious, can I use super glue to keep it adhered inside the tooth until I get to the dentist or can I use the temporary filler as a glue type substance?

    Superglue in your tooth sounds like a really bad idea.
    You really shouldn't mess with fillings at all.

    A version of superglue is used in surgery. However, I'm not sure that the commercially available super glue is safe for oral use.

    Not sure what "filler" you are talking about.

    How long do you have to wait to see this dentist? There are many dentists who will see someone on a same day basis for an urgency such as yours. I'd call around to get the tooth fixed, even if just temporarily until you can get in to see the dentist you want.
    Super glue is definitely not a good idea for internal use!

    Haha that's funny... dont do that... a dentist should be able to see you right away for a lost filling.. if he/she won't see you within a day or two, then they are pretty useless and you should not go to them in the first place.

    Use Dental Wax to replace the filling.

    For pain use Anbesol.

    See a dentist ASAP.
