My friend chipped her tooth and has been filling it in with nail acrylic. To me this doesn't seem safe but she claims she's been doing this for almost a year.Has anyone ever heard of using acrylic in their mouth?
I don't know what chemicals are in the nail acrylics so I can't say if it's safe or not.
What I do know is that it will not stay very well. Tell her to go to a dentist.
Composite dental fillings stay on the tooth much better because the tooth surface is etched first for better bond strength. It's much more durable, better-sealing, and better-looking than nail acrylics.Has anyone ever heard of using acrylic in their mouth?
If she's been doing this for a year it's possible her chip has some decay. A dentist can fill the chip so the edges are smooth and flush with the rest of her tooth. That way there is not a risk of decay getting under her ';home job';.
