Be seen: Even if you feel like you have " popped" it back in position, I would encourage you to be seen for a follow up exam and X-ray. The X-ray would be helpful to ensure it is well reduced and that there is no associated fracture. You don't want to have any long term problems with it.

Hand specialist.: See an orthopedic hand surgeon. He/she will start with xrays and an exam. You may just need simple immobilization. But there are other, more serious things that can occur, when you dislocate a finger joint.
