I had a cavity inbetween my back lower molar and the one in front of it (the cavity was actually on the back molar). The dentist said that I would *possibly* need a root canal but he wanted to avoid that and try and fill it instead. He filled the cavity, and it was okay for a while until it started hurting REALLLLLY badly so I went back to the dentist and got a root canal. At that point my dental insurance had run out so I was unable to get a cap on it right away. The temporary filling came out and it stayed that way for about 5 months until a couple of months ago when I went back to the dentist (a new one because my old dentist retired). My new dentist tells me my best option is to just have it removed, which I'm fine with. I also need to have my wisdom teeth out so he told me that it would be fine to do it all at once. The new semester was about to start and I knew I wouldn't be able to get in to get my wisdom teeth out before the semester started. This semester I'm taking 21 credits, plus working, and I CANNOT miss class to get my teeth fixed.
Anyways, onto my problem... today I was eating something and I felt a weird pressure on my tooth. I go to the bathroom to take a look at it and the filling that the doctor did in the beginning is VERY loose. I thought it just came detached from the tooth... but I was looking at it more and I actually cracked the tooth in half. I'm not concerned with saving the tooth because I was going to have it pulled anyways... but it's making me really uncomfortable and I'm paranoid about it falling out. I'm not going to be able to make it to the dentist office until Tuesday afternoon when I get out of classes.... is there anything I can do in the mean time? Please help... I'm seriously freaking out right now.
