A chunk of my tooth broke off. Do I need to get it taken care of immediately?
One of my molars with a large filling fractured yesterday and a chunk of the enamel broke of when I bit into a chip. There's not pain or bleeding or irritation whatsoever. I put the piece of my tooth in a zip loc bag with my saliva in it. The only thing that's irritating me is the filling rubbing against my tongue, but it doesn't cause me any pain.
I tried to call my dentist this morning, but they are closed for the day and will reopen tomorrow. Can I wait until tomorrow or is this an urgent problem.
