Subject: RE: BS: Is,Superglue,poisonus?
Super glue fumes can be very toxic, if much is used...(I use professional grades (there are 3 different cosisitencies) of the stuff for woodworking)...Dentists would NOT use it, as it is brittle when dry and reacts too quickly with moisture from the mouth. You run a real risk of gluing the wrong things together, as getting a drop in exactly the right spot is not easy.
...if a tooth is almost out, there is not much that can be done except build a new one, and that ain't cheap. I suppose it depends which tooth it is...but I would suggest ASKING a dentist what he thinks, even if you decide not to let him do anything.
