Find a Sat dentist!: Was there a filling in the tooth before? Try to find a dentist that works saturday; the quicker she sees a dentist, the better because more tooth may break. If she can't see a dentist over the weekend, she should not eat anything sticky, chewy, or hard (candy, whole nuts, etc) to not break the tooth more. Walgreens sells temp filling material (powder and liquid mixed on provided pad) to fill it.
