what happens if a front crown is decayed underneath and the right side of the face is swelling and going numb no medication, will anything happen if I stick the tooth back up there with some kind of tooth glue so it dont become more infected? no tooth decayed..how to put back a crown that has decay underneath no tooth left?

A dentist needs to see you. They need to diagnose the cause of the swelling and numbness. .

Too, you cannot simply use glue in your mouth. The chemicals are toxic.

you need to go see a dentist, you could have an infection and that is what is causing the swelling. i would not try and put it back on espically if there is nothing to hold it there
