What is the best at-home method for reapplying a front tooth that has broken?

I had a root canal done on the tooth years ago, and had the nerve removed, so there is no pain. I have been using a temporary dental filling material to make a kind of structure for the tooth to better adhere to, then apply it with a drop of super glue. I have to reapply it quite often. I went to the dentist and they said I need a bridge, which I cannot afford right now.

What is the best at-home method for reapplying a front tooth that has broken?
I built a front tooth from some two-part epoxy. It comes in a roll and is moldable and finishes with sandpaper and acrylic paints/sealant.


Super glue holds it in place to the root canal's snags-the superglue works for awhile, but isn't permanent by any means. Not intended for structural replacement, it does a good job for asthetics, especially good if the cost of a crown or bridge is exhorbitant.
Reply:I feel you on that one. I had a botched root canal and had broke my tooth off it hurt so bad. I had to get a flipper, which is still kinda expensive. I do not think you will get away other than to look into doing a google search on tooth repair kit.
Reply:Go to your dentist %26amp; have a little flipper temporary made . Only takes a 30 min to make. not satisfactory for permanent use %26amp; some dentist won't make them cause patients will wear to long %26amp; it causes irritation %26amp; problems. Will need to call first %26amp; see if he will make you a temp. DR Walker
