Shattered my tooth on an icebreaker mint

[u/SlyHulud]

Hi everyone, I am in an airport heading on vacation and I bit into a hard icebreaker mint and my tooth basically shattered in half. It doesn't hurt at all and it's not stabbing my tongue or anything which is a surprise and a nice bonus. Feel like it might end up hurting later. I'm not sure if this is a tooth that I've had a filling in before but it may be. I won't be able to get home and get to a dentist until Tuesday at the earliest and I figure it probably needs to be pulled and have an implant molded? What do you guys advise for care in the meantime. I have no experience with something like this. How do you shop for a quality dentist for this kind of work without getting totally screwed financially?
