I had a crown crack in half. I was out of town on business and used super glue to put it back together. Did I make a mistake? Will my dentist be able to unglue it to fix it?

Max,
You haven’t done anything that can’t be fixed. Though, I would suggest next time you have a dental emergency you see a dentist. When you’re out of town, there are always emergency dentists who will see out of town patients.
Your dentist is used to much stronger cement than superglue. That’s the good news. The bad news is that if you didn’t glue it properly, you may need a new crown.
If for some reason, you’re in this situation again and cannot get to an emergency dentist, you can get a temporary dental cement at a pharmacy.
