On Friday, December 16th a part of my molar (about 1/6) fell off when I was eating. So far, I don’t feel any pain or it’s causing any troubles. I called my dentist to book for an appointment but they are booked full for this week. I already had an appointment for a root canal treatment on January 4, 2023. The woman on the phone who I called said, as long as I don’t feel pain I shouldn’t be worried and wait until my appointment in a few weeks because I was already getting a root canal treatment and have cavity on the molar. I’m keeping the part of the molar in milk that fell off just in case they need it. I was wondering if it’s okay to just wait or should I try an emergency dentist? According to another dentist, it’s usually not harmful to wait for a few weeks.
