Byron, I would bet you only got a portion of the tooth out. Go have an x-ray taken to be sure.
Agree the dentist's office should have called you back. I make certain that every true emergency is seen that same day. Many times we don't have time to do treatment but at least we can make the patient more comfortable and make a game plan.
On the flip side... we get lots of calls about an "emergency" but then when we tell them we can see them at say 3:00, they respond with..."well my kid has football practice" or "well thats too early" or some other BS excuse. So it is kink of the "boy who cried wolf" most of the time.
Anyway, warm salt water...nothing else. Call your dentist or go see a new one.

Well, I didn't tell them that it was an "emergency" I called to find out what I should do until they could get me in, after a few weeks with me calling them, it got worse and still no response from their office. My dentist did call today, while I was at rehab for my knee and now have an appointment for tomorrow night, I also found a new dentist, but they aren't taking new patients until Sept, but said they could try & work me in if I still need it. Tomorrow will be a full day, knee doc in the morning, back doc at lunch, the dentist in the evening
