What to do if i just broke a piece of my tooth?

I just now broke a tooth. A quarter of a back molar is gone - swallowed actually. I called up and left a message for my dentist, but it will probably be tues. before I can go in. There is no pain.
Is there anything I should do in the meantime?

Ugh, no idea what to do about it, but sorry to hear you lost part of a tooth. I had a root canal and found out at the dentist that I was missing a chunk of molar, whether from decay or not, the dentist couldn't really say.

I broke it while eating vegetable chips. I'm sure that was coincidental.

thedude, I've had 2 root canals, both a result of not taking care of a small problem right away ... sort of like life itself. That's one reason I'm going to have this taken care of a.s.a.p.

Root canals are almost as much fun as a kick in the nads, not to mention expensive.

Thank you for the support.

Grin bear it. And start eating some of God's Food. Not man made chips!

Well first I'm... Acctully.. Well I also broke my molar (front)a cupple of weeks ago I got my filling (witch you should get)and the filling came out (when I was eating pizza. If this happen to you just bite on a towel (on your molar).

hope this helps,
