Is this a good quick temporary fix for a missing tooth in my plastic temp. bridge?

I would say no but I'm not a dentist. I don't know about bridges. But I'd say trying to affix it to your bridge could ruin the bridge. Once it's "melted" on and stuck to a surface it's borderline impossible to get off. Cool for crafts. Not for expensive dental equipment.

It seems that it would work anywhere that your dentures or partials are loose or ill fitting. Of course, this is only a temporary measure until you can have a dentist appointment.

Yes, I made a temp tooth while waiting to finish implant process. It is extremely white,so I soaked it in black coffee till desired color was achieved. Close to natural tooth color for me was after about an hour.

It was really easy to work the plastic using my dremel's rotozip/drywall bit. I think the "fold the cord in half, zip-tie, and unspool both ends" hack will work better, though.

No. Rubbing the tip against a magnet a few times gives you a temporary fix, however.

Hi Cody,No, Temptooth is meant to replace a single missing tooth. Some customers have been able to make it work for two teeth, but three would be extremely difficult.

I would use this or some other sealant in a case where a replacement part is not available, but otherwise, you could probably pick up a used manifold at a salvage yard for under $50 and do the job the right way. I've learned that in the end, shortcuts rarely save any time or money.

It should as long as you have the upper teeth on both sides of the missing tooth. How it works after you make it is it has sides that fan out on the back of the replacement tooth that will hold it in place by grabbing on to the teeth on both sides of it in the back.

Since you can adjust the flow of water I would say yes. You could start very gently on your bridge work. I LOVE mine and my teeth and gums have never felt cleaner.

I think this thing was rubbish. It didn't really do much of anything, so yeah it should be safe for flexible dentures.

Maybe, these things happen though with this tubing but a little more scary with an arrow in it for sure. Try to wipe off the end with a little alcohol and also put a drop down the end of the tube then rub a q-tip or twisted piece of tissue with the idea being that it will help remove any oils from ones fingers that might cause slippage. The without touching the area you cleaned push the tubing back on. If it is hard put a drop of water (yes, a little spit is just fine. Lol) on the tang to help slide on. If this is going to work it seems you would know right away but perhaps wait 30 minutes or so for the moisture to lessen. Having had quite a few wrist rockets this is an annoying think that happens at times. I figured it would be the case and got a couple heavy duty replacements. These are beefier than the one included. I also think climate play a part in the life of the bands and storage in a plastic bag for something might be best. I think of how a rubber band gets over time. Mine works well and no problem with the band's yet although I have been tempted to swap them out. If going on a trip or walk in the woods an extra band would seem important. Only problem I had was the wisher biscuit started coming out so I used gorilla glue to secure it. I hope this helps you.

I don't think there is a trick but if you used it for awhile then tried to unscrew it could be calcified shut. May need some tools.

what you are looking for is fiber fix. one time use stuff, epoxy embedded that cures quickly.

Temptooth is really only to be used to replace one tooth. I have been using it for about a year and it really works well. I don't think it would look natural using it for more than one tooth.

I tried to bend the teeth on the attachment though it is plastic, very strong. I am a hairstylist and am using this one temporarily until I get my original CHI gets out of storage.

this stuff sets up like a semi-soft plastic,so it fills any dips or irregularities in the denture, if that's not your problem then this probably wont help you I'm sorry to say....I agree with you on the O-T-C junk I've never found a useful 'glue' either, GOOD LUCK, Bill S.

If the little round metal disc stayed in the teether, it should be fine. If it popped out, I would put the whole thing back in the freezer so the metal re-contracts & pop it back in. I would test it once it gets back up to room temp to make sure the metal disc won't slip out.I wouldn't let my child chew on it while it's frozen, the comment below about the Christmas story scene sounds like it could happen...
