    Thank you - I bought it and did it -- one thing though, the product said 10+ Repairs which is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY false advertisement - NOT ONLY it did not have enough for 10 repairs, it is literary just enough for one - I kept squeezing the tube and nothing was coming out until I pushed from the bottom like it was an empty tube to get the paste out - so, people don't be fooled by that - But it did work and my crown is back on - I just don't appreciate these marketers LIE about what their product is - Highly unethical! THIS was exactly the reason I did not major in marketing - but did in Engineering which is TRUE Solutions.

    God bless you! My mom is visiting me from India and her crown came off. Dental is very expensive and not covered even with travel insurance. This video is a life saver!

    My temp crown broke and now it kind of hurts, I went to YouTube hoping there was a glue that can be used safely. I go in to the dentist in 10 days. If it comes out after 5, I will glue it back in. That’s Doc, I appreciate your advice.

    I should be looking at Fairfax Dental Group, as I used to live in Fairfax and moved to Loudoun County. I'm visiting my sister in another state and had a front tooth fall out! Why didn't it happen a week earlier? I called fifteen dentists, and none are taking new patients. I am about to use Dentek, a similar product showcased here. I have an appointment two months from now, but I have to travel 56 miles to the dentist! I'm told many dentists are retiring, and few are replacing them. Encourage them to become dentists if you have kids; they will always have the business.

    You are an angel! I just lost my crown and was looking for information on what to do in the moment.

    Why did you choose the recappit over the regular Dentemp? Curious

    12 7 2022 neither vid seen this eve on u-tube says to dry the tooth stub before cementing the crown back on. dry sounds right as that is what i recall when it was installed at the dental office 3 years ago. tho i will read the fine print on the 'dentemp' pkg too. yes , i like you marking the tooth for reference. good tip.

    Mine is loose. Going to buy it before it happens. I wonder if it will stay 2 weeks on. Thanks!

    Thank you. My dentist is closed, and I have to wait two days to get it fix.
  • Hopefully you are still active on this video. I have a post crown from a front tooth that has come out, no pain or anything, am i safe to use this on a post crown also? Thanks.
  • Thanks for the help! Mine just fell off about 10 minutes ago and I still got 8 hours left in my shift. Lol

    Hello, directions are saying leave the tooth moist, you’re saying to dry the tooth. Which one is better??
