I think a piece of my root canal has broken off. Can this wait 2 weeks or does it need to be seen ASAP?

Had a root canal 3 years ago and I think a piece has broken off. It was a little black and white and some pink stuff. It happened about an hour ago. I can feel a piece hanging with my tongue also. Right now it feels strange but not intense pain. Can I wait about two weeks to be seen if it doesn't hurt or does it need to be seen ASAP? Thanks kind of worried :-(
