@DeathOfTheUniverse I used DenTemp its white. I think they use red for the demonstration.

@mrx87329

I am in the same predicament, except mine is probably worse. Near the gumline of one of my teeth, a chunk is missing, probably due to what looks like decay. I can't go to the dentist, and it looks terrible when I smile. I need some way to make it look less noticeable. This kind of thing may work, but I need it in white, not red as demonstrated.

Just bought one now and it's in place I hope it does the job until I can save some $ for the dentist which cost alot over here in NYC

@AceOfHeart2012 but doctors do this too , and politicians and... my point is that the argument of suffering can be suited to whoever it pleases.. the irony in the " caring profession " is it is nothing to do with caring at all , its simply business men and women who are using other ways of exploiting us through our health because they know we have no other choice, so you right its like passive torture but deception too

a thin piece of my front tooth up round the gum line ( i dont think below it ) someone came off , what would you recommend as i cant go or get to the dentist ( complex ) i can live but its irritating and im concerned it might get worse , sensitive or infected etc

Oh sure, that's going to last all of 10 seconds!

This would've been useful when I chipped my tooth FIVE YEARS AGO. >:(

Why is dentistry so expensive? 90% of the people can't afford it at all. Do dentists take The Hippocratic Oath? To knowingly allow anyone who is suffering when you have the knowledge that can end that suffering, regardless of compensation, is a crime against humanity.
