My temp cap cracked that is over a root canal. my office hasn't called back in two days and i'm a bit worried. trying to decide if i should find emergency care? i've kept it clean and have tried not to chew much on that side?

You won't feel any pain ,but you want to keep area clean. Go to pharmacy and get dent-temp OTC shelf, which is a putty substance and roll a small ball of it and place over crack to seal area. The root canal is sealed ,so don't worry, but you want to keep area clean.
