Suggest Remedy For A Problem In The Wisdom Tooth

i have a real problem with my wisdom tooth.

the filling fell out 10 minutes ago. the part of the tooth it was attached to is now wobbling and will surely fall out very soon. i just gripped the wobbling part and tried to pull but there was a sharp pain so i stopped. i also have a lump inside my gum that i assume is connected to the root of the tooth. i cant get to a dentist or doctor for another week as i have no money and am awaiting my medical card as ai live in mallorca.

ive just read that if this wobbling part falls out i could bleed to death or my face could go into spasm and stay that way... what am i supposed to do? thanks for any replies

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
The tooth might have fractured or broken along with the previous filling. Nothing to worry, if it comes out or if you remove the broken piece of tooth, it might bleed litle but it will not cause massive bleeding that leads to death. Wait for the tooth fragment to fall by its or till you consult your dentist. If i am your treating doctor i would have suggested you to get the tooth piece removed as early as possible.
so consult a physician as early as possible and get it treated otherwise it might get infected and cause pain and swelling. Do saline gargling take analgesics if you have pain.
i hope my answer will help you. Take care.
