Crown fell out with post attached. Major decay present. Big problem it happened on a Friday night the night before a major holiday weekend. No dentist open. What do I need to do until the dentist is open in three days? What Should I be concerned about with a open post hole open to the elements? Can I eat? Will food go into the hole?
