Should I See The Dentist As The Tooth Fell Before The Permanent Filling?

I just 3 of my teeth crowned, two on top and 1 right under them on the bottom left side. They're temp crowns until 2 weeks when I get my permanent ones. The bottom one fell off, it's under 2 other temp large crowns; and now it's exposed but doesn't work. What should I do? The dentist is closed for 2 days including today

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
You don't need to worry, just visit your dentist after 2 days who will cement the temporary crown again.
Just take a precaution of not biting hard from that side as the tooth is weakened by crown preparation to prevent fracture of tooth.
Hope my answer will help you.
