I've just broken a tooth - again 
It's a molar that broke on one side at the gumline last year, the decay was drilled out and a filling was put in sort of 'levelling off' the break. I was supposed to go back for a second set of xrays but the practice cancelled my appointment (by text) and I forgot to make a new one. Now the other 'side' of it has broken off at the gumline. My dentist isn't open til Monday and none of the local out of hours services are taking phone calls til tomorrow - what's the best way to look after it til then? I'm wary of brushing - the filling hasn't fallen out and I don't want it to! I don't want an infection starting either...
