broken tooth

[noddyholder]

The back bit of one of my teeth has just snapped off!There is no pain at all and I have looked at it with a mirror and it looks normal but feels sort of scratchy.Do you think its ok to wait til Monday to get it looked at?Or is it an emergency

Is it painful? If no, wait until Monday. If yes, go sooner!

If you have got the broken-off bit, keep it in some milk, in case it is possible to re-attach it. Mind you, not sure it will keep until Monday.

I don't think they can re-attach a part of a tooth. One of my back teeth chipped years ago, I wouldn't go to the dentist as I was too scared. I just left it. Over time, a bit more chipped off. I did eventually go to the dentist as it became painful and they had to remove the back tooth. It meant I didn't have my wisdom teeth removed as it made space for them!

Not painful at all so will go Monday no later as I chipped a tooth b fore left it and ended up with a huge abcess and a root filling which was excruciating

They can re-attach teeth, had it done myself when I broke mine (hoovering, would you believe...).
