Answer
April - It is definitely not correct to have pieces of the tooth that was supposed to be removed still in your mouth. You need to call the dentist tomorrow. If he is unable to help you, you need to ask him to refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for an evaluation.
So you need to get this taken care of. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me again.
