Hello Shar. Thank you for posting.
Many pharmacies sell temporary filling kits. These kits include either a single putty or two soft putties that should be mixed together. If you can put the mixture into your broken tooth without discomfort, you should be fine until your dental appointment. To reduce possible pain while eating, you may want to stick with soft foods and avoid anything too hot or cold. You could also try chewing solely on the intact side of your mouth. Ibuprofen can help with any discomfort. See your dentist or an oral surgeon as soon as you can.
