What to do when the bone graft membrane comes out?

mathisc01
I had a bone graft done on 6.7...exactly a week later the sutures and membrane came out. I've been trying to keep the membrane in somewhat by holding it in place with a little piece of gauze, but that only works for so long. Since it's been a week since the procedure and post opp isnt scheduled for another week. Should I just watch the area for pain or try to get back in to see the dentist asap?
