Broken tooth can’t get to the dentist
What can I do until I get to the dentist
I just cracked one of my back teeth were I had a old filling put in when I was much younger. I is not big but now there is a hole where some of the filling fell out because of the crack. My tooth does not hurt or bother me other then this bad taste in my mouth were the broke tooth is. I am unable to see a dentist right now so I was wondering is there anything I could do until I am able to go to the dentist. Some home cure to this bad taste that is left?

Well I would advise going to the dentist ASAP. You do not state why you can not go to the dentist, but if you truly can not go then be very careful with that tooth. Try you best not to chew on it. Keep it clean at all times so make sure after eating anything that you rinse your mouth out well.
Whenever you get the chance rinse your mouth out with warm salt water. This well help try to control infection from setting in.
Good luck to you
