I started using krazy glue last winter when my teeth started falling out. I regret it because of the fumes that make me sick, but I don’t know what else to do. I cannot afford a denture. I know the glue is messing up my gums. I feel stuck. Please help. – Thanks. KL

Why Would Teeth Repeatedly Fall Out?

When a person has advanced gum disease or periodontitis, their teeth can repeatedly fall out without treatment. Gum disease destroys gums, teeth, and their supporting bone.

Can You Glue Teeth Back in Place?

Krazy Glue or any other high-strength glue would hold only temporarily before the teeth move again. Commercial glues are not meant for internal use and would further damage unhealthy oral tissue.

The woman who wrote about using Krazy Glue to put her teeth back felt hopeless. We included a photo on this page of a patient with advanced gum disease that is bad but not like the advanced stage that causes teeth to fall out.

In the photo below, the patient’s lower four incisor teeth are almost loose enough to fall out. Imagine tooth roots showing, teeth hanging by their ligaments, and the desperation of a person who cannot afford dentures.

It has probably been years since this woman saw a dentist. Although she cannot afford dentures, she can seek assistance from a local dental school, a dental clinic, or social services. Her teeth are unsavable, and removable dentures would make her look and feel better, improving her quality of life.

Find a dentist, a university dental school, or a dental clinic if you experience tooth loss. Avoid self-treatment.
