What will happen if a temporary filling comes out of a tooth that has had a root canal?

Asked By:automigirl in Seymour, TN

I had a root canal several months ago and they put in a temporary filling, the tooth has since cracked and the filling is coming out. What will happen if it finally comes out? There is some pain but it seems to be relieved when I somewhat lift the filling out.
