What home remedies can I use that will work for dental adhesive?

I find one of the best options for our patients that have an issue with a temporary coming out is to use a denture adhesive (polygrip, etc.) because it is tacky and helps to stick and suction the temporary crown.  You can get this at any grocery store.Oddly enough, I have patients who have used chewing gum as well, although I make sure they are using sugar free (Orbit, Trident, etc.)You can use a number of things that as just a little tacky or sticky but they can't be too thick and it doesn't take much.  Just make sure you do your best to wipe away any excess.  If these don't work well for you contact your dentist and either have them re-cement it for you or get your crown back from the lab quicker if possible.

When a temp crown comes out the best option at home would be to use a little vaseline to keep the crown in.  You have to be careful though
