Default glue for European mount of bear head

I need some sort of glue to adhere the teeth and bone back together after I cleaned the bear head. Anyone has suggestion about what glue I should buy? Thank you very much in advance !

Taxidermists sometimes use “fin flex” which is basically white glue.

Always just used Elmer's wood glue (white).
Works.

White glue dries clear. Test it first to make sure you’re happy with it

I have used super glue, wood glue, hot glue and epoxy. It all works. Not much needed to hold the teeth in place. Gluing jaw bones together I like super glue because it sets right away

Use the gel type super glue, it stays where you want it.
