Possible, but : The best repair is done by a dentist but in an emergency the over the counter denture repair can be used. Try to get into a dentist for a repair. It will last longer and look better than a repair done at home.

Self repair: You can, but I have found that most patients make things worse and then they are sorry for trying. This is best left to the professionals. You might accidentally swallow the tooth if it comes off. Also, it often creates a more difficult and more expensive repair than if would have been if you had just saved the tooth and bring it in with you. Most dentists can do a same day repair in office.

Broken false tooth: You should do your best to see a dentist and have the tooth replaced especially since you have the tooth. Attempting to repair it on your own will only make it more difficult for your dentist to repair it because the pieces will not fit together properly and your repair materials may contaminate the surfaces to be re-joined.

Try to go to the den: Try to go to the dentist, eventhogh you may hear that crazy glue may work well, it is only a temporary solution, you might swallow the tooth while eating that may be worse.

Denture repair kit: Go to the drugstore or pharmacy, or department store and in the dental isle, they should have a material that can be used as a temporary acrylic for temporary caps that come off. You may use this material until you can see your dentitst. Hope this helps ! keep smiling !
