Part of mt tooth has fallen out and i cant get in the dentist till monday any suggestions on wat to do?

This is a very difficult question to answer without knowing more information.The answer depends on whether you are in pain, whether it is a back or front tooth and how large the piece is. It is also not clear if it is your choice to delay until Monday, or if a dentist can't fit you in until then.

If you are in pain and you have been told to wait until Monday, call your dentist again. Failing that, try calling another dentist in your area or callig your local PCT (in the phone book) and asking for a list of dentists contracted to provide a daily emergency service. Patients in the UK are entitled to see any dentist at any time, even if you have always regularly attended just one. In the meantime clove oil works well for toothache, along with normal painkillers.

If you are not in pain and it is a very small hole, you could probably get by by being very careful to keep the hole clean. Rinse your mouth very thoroughly after meals and use a small toothbrush to gently clean it.

Larger holes in back teeth can be effectively filled with temporary dental fillings available in most good pharmacies. These can be fiddly to use, and you may need to enlist the help of a friend or relative!

For front teeth there is often not a lot that you can do yourself because the way these teeth break does not lend itself to being plugged up by the DIY kits. Again, if you are not in pain just keep the area as clean as you can.

Whatever the actual circumstance, you ideally need to see a dentist as soon as possible, since Yahoo Answers cannot be a substitute for a proper examination and treatment from a dentist.
