Hello:
I have a cracked ceramic filling. None of the filling pieces have fallen
out,
but there is a big crack across the filling - it is in a molar.

Is this a dental "emergency" ?
Or can I just wait until my next cleaning ?

Thank You!

Get it evaluated ASAP.

It may or may not be an issue. No way to tell from my desk.
