Cracked Half Front Tooth Off, Split Lip Badly Enough In Process To Need Stitches.

Today I cracked half my front tooth off and split my lip badly enough in the process to need stitches. I got two stitches, but one of them has come out already. Is this a big deal? The health centre I went to before I went to the hospital thought I would only need one stitch anyway. Also, I wasn t able to see anyone about my tooth today. Is there anything I should do today as far as caring for it/anything I definitely should not do?
