Possibly: If it's not bleeding or severed, then you may be able to wait to go to the dentist. You may want to go to the doctors to see why you blacked out as other pathology's could be going on.

Yes!: You should see a physician to see why you blacked out in the first place and also to check the extend of injury to your tongue. You may need treatment to prevent long lasting problems.
