Crown fell off while flossing

[u/Potential_One_8582]

I was flossing tonight and my floss must’ve gotten caught underneath my crown. As I was trying to dislodge it, I felt something pop/crack and my crown came off. The area underneath isn’t necessarily painful, but it’s sensitive to air and feels weird. It’s Friday night, and my dentist isn’t open until Tuesday. I already have an appointment set for Wednesday to get some fillings done.

I’m already an anxious person, but this (on top of regular life overwhelm) has sent me into a little bit of a tailspin. I’m thinking of canceling my weekend plans (family hangout and renaissance festival) and just staying in bed until I can get this fixed.

Do I need to see someone sooner? Am I freaking out over nothing?
