Your local Rite Aid, Wal-Greens or other pharmacy store will have denture repair kits.
Are you talking about Dentures? I would try the Pollident and call your dentist in the morning. :-) Nothing else you can do for them until you get new ones. Goodness, it doesn't seem as though they made them right in the first place if they cracked in two. I didn't think they should do that. OK, never mind what I just said...I'm pasting what I just read on a website. Here's what the professionals say: Can I make minor adjustments or repairs to my dentures?
You can seriously damage your dentures and harm your health by trying to adjust or repair your dentures. A denture that is not made to fit properly can cause irritation and sores.
See your dentist if your dentures break, crack, chip, or if one of the teeth becomes loose. A dentist can often make the necessary adjustments or repairs on the same day. A person who lacks the proper training will not be able to reconstruct the denture. This can cause greater damage to the denture and may cause problems in your mouth. Glue sold over-the-counter often contains harmful chemicals and should not be used on dentures.

You could try looking in the dental section at a large chemist store for some dental fixative.
Dont be tempted to use any form of Superglue, it would probably hold the denture for a few days but then your own saliva would weaken the bond and your back to square one, and remember that S/G is highly toxic, so not a good idea!
DO NOT repair it your self you will get the bite off!! See your dentist in the morning. If you mess up the bite you will have to have a new denture. DR Walker
