See your dentist: Today is fri why can't you see him now?I'm not thrilled about you waiting. How long ha s this tooth been broken? If your not having any other problems you could wait but i would suggest you call your dentist and see about antibiotics or possibly seeing him or her sooner.

See dentist monday: Since you have no pain......And probably minimal infection you should be able to get thru the weekend. If pain does occur try ibuprofin 200 mg tablets 2 to 4 every 4-6 hours.

Why wait?: Most er not really equipped for dentistry. It's friday, there are offices open still and open tomorrow. Try to find one. A dental office is better equipped. If painful or infected and swollen then you may have to go to er for a prescription.

Dentist asap!: Er's do not normally perform any dental treatment, and even hospitals that have dental residency programs probably won't be able to help you other than prescribe an antibiotic and\or pain medication if they feel it appropriate. See a dentist asap for that tooth and it sounds like you may well be overdue for a complete dental checkup. Many offices are open on sat's so try to find one tomorrow.
