My Permanent Crown Fell off and I Can't See the Dentist 4 Days. What Should I Do?

mefianceApr 11, 2013
My permanent crown fell off last night. I have an appointment with my dentist in 4 days and I already called and they told me they wouldn't be able to see me before this time. I'm worried about my teeth shifting or more problems occurring because I'm not sure if this is too much time to wait. Is there any advice for my situation while I wait?
