Toothpaste on cracked phone glass: does it work, and what if you already used it?

Putting toothpaste on cracked phone glass does not repair the crack; it may seem to hide fine scratches for a while, but it does not last. If you already used it, check whether paste got into the speaker, microphone or charging port, and wipe with a dry, soft cloth. The fix is a glass or screen replacement.

Key points
  • Toothpaste does not repair a crack.
  • It may only seem to hide fine scratches for a while.
  • Gently wipe paste from openings with a dry cloth.
  • Abrasive paste can wear the glass coating.
  • The fix for cracked glass is a glass or screen replacement.

01Why does toothpaste not work?

ExpectedReality
It closes the crackOnce glass cracks, its structure is broken; paste does not change that
It removes scratchesIt fills and hides fine scratches for a while; they show again once wiped
It protects the glassAbrasive particles can wear the coating on top of the glass

02If you already used it

  1. Check the openings. If paste got into the speaker, microphone or charging port, switch the phone off.
  2. Wipe with a dry cloth. Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth; do not put water or liquid into the openings.
  3. No sharp objects. Do not try to clean residue from the openings with a pin; if it will not come out, bring it in.
  4. Check the coating. If the glass now picks up more fingerprints or looks dull, the coating may be worn.

03The right fix

Why cracked glass is not repaired at home is in can cracked phone glass be fixed at home, scratches in can phone screen scratches be repaired, and whether the protector or the screen is cracked in is it the screen protector or the screen?.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Does toothpaste repair cracked phone glass?

No; the cracked glass’s structure is broken and paste does not change that.

02

What should I do if toothpaste got into the speaker?

Switch the phone off and wipe the surface with a dry cloth; if residue will not come out of the opening, bring it in without poking it with a sharp object.

03

Does toothpaste damage the glass coating?

Abrasive particles can wear the coating on top of the glass; it may pick up more fingerprints.

04

Will a glass replacement delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
