As a practicing dentist (or according to some of you, a ripoff artist) I am intrigued by this thread. I could not give John counsel about this situation without actually seeing his mouth to evaluate just what in the hell the problem is! Most likely it is gum disease (periodontitis), in which case, if the disease has progressed to the point that the tooth is ready to fall out, no-one or nothing is going to save it, period. Not Superglue, not Cavit (which by the way is totally contraindicated for vital teeth and could easily cause the tooth to abscess) not glasses of milk, not k,e,y,b,o,a,r,d,s,! but it is a good read. Well, gotta get back to ripping people off!cheers jimmyt
