Can I fix a porcelain tooth myself?!
Question: If anyone can help me-I'd appreciate it. I fixed my upper teeth and they are all porcelain. However, one tooth keeps breaking off all the time. I've been to the dentist so many times and each time he charges me $300 to fix it! And it still breaks! I can't afford it and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is something I can buy at the store or pharmacy that will allow me to fix my tooth myself?

no, you can't get that type of cement at a store.
If you mean it keeps coming off whole then it means that the preparation may not be retentive enough; in which case it would have to be modified and a new crown made. Good Luck.
Don't try using other glues or things like that- they may be toxic, definitely will not work, and may allow decay to form under the crown, if that happens you may also end up needing a root canal
