The instruction pamphlet says that if you have metal filling ask your MD before using it. Does anyone have experience using with fillings or crowns?

I've never had any problem with regards to fillings or crowns.... I have several fillings, a cap and a partial with metal wires. You'll be using the wand on your skin not your teeth, sorry couldn't help it.... This isn't a magnetic tool, it's a electronic wave to stimulate the blood cells. Start out with the lowest setting and gradually increase by turning the dial. After every treatment I have a rosy glow to my skin.

Yes, I have both and the 1st time I used the wand I could feel just a slight tingle...barely noticeable. I just turned the wand down and I couldn't feel anything. After a few more uses....I couldn't feel anything at all. I too was worried when I first read that in the instructions...but I thought, hey, I bought it, I may as well try it. Now it doesn't bother me at all. Hope this info is helpful.

I have been using the wand since August and I have plenty of metal fillings and 1 crown...no problems.

I had a tooth break off, which was capped . I used secure as a glue to temporarily hold tooth and cap. Only cosmetically .

I saw a difference. I had used the 1 month kit in January and decided to "refresh" in May. I have crowns, and it worked on them. I believe this is the only product that will. I am a believer, and will order again.

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.

Yes. I did exactly that. Just opened up an end, took out some filling and sewed it back up . Warning...the filling goes everywhere and sticks to everything. But, it worked.

After calling customer service at Truudeau for help I was told that the salt that comes in the shaker causes the two elements to stick together. It was suggested that I use dental flow and run it around the slight opening between the top and bottom. I did this and it cleared the salt residue and now I have no problem getting the two parts apart.

I use it on my retainer which is partly metal and have had no issues at all. Has worked well for me.

HeyI used a rigid pointed tip nail file. Soaked the dentures in warm water. I used vary little because I just wanted a better feel along with my adhesive.It is a trial and error thing but I found I can do better than dentist. Hope it works out, be patient!

I doubt very much it would work on crowns. You would need to ask your dentist what material they use for their crowns and whether or not it can be bleached. I don't have any crowns that I am treating.

I must tell you that when I decided to try it, my teeth were not just yellowish, but orange! very heavy smoker and drink orange juice all day long. However, after carefully following the instructions and starting with 15 mts. the first night, 25 the second and finally 30 mts., I only required to use it 6-7 times. Only used one and a quarter of a syringe. The rest is in the refrigerator, should I need a "touch up"! If it's going to work, I truly believe that 30 minutes is plenty. Also, some times I used a q-tip with Vaseline to lightly protect my gums because it did burn when I didn't use the Vaseline - I'm sensitive I guess. Hope this is helpful!

I'm not sure. Definitely ask your dentist if its an approved cleaning method. I'd hate for you to void your warranty on them.

Yes....it sticks pretty good to your teeth, however, I have several crowns, as does my husband and neither of us had any trouble. If it is brand new maybe you should Give it a while to set and then do it. I don't think the substance sticks to the teeth per say. This is my opinion but I think it is hard to remove b/c the substance fits your teeth and gum line tightly. Hope this helps.

I don't remember getting any instructions. We were told how to use them by our dentist. He's who recommended them in the first place. I'm more likely to follow a dentist's instructions anyway.

I personally have not had a problem, however if you are worried I would suggest talking to your dentist.

I have bought some from both dentist & Amazon and haven't noticed a difference, except for the price. If the gel gets cold it will seem thicker however. I guess just see if it works as it's supposed to. Good luck!

I can not believe the previous answer,.honestly sounds to me like someone has no clue how to read the Instruction. I can definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a fake tooth, it works great!!
