Should be fine, but if you have any discomfort, call your dentist and get an antibiotic.
2 weeks should be okay, but you can ask to be put on a last minute cancelation list.
We always try and get patients in sooner, but many times patients have time restrictions that prevent that. This also depends upon any infection that may be present.
No, if there is no pain.
It all depends on how much discomfort you are having and if you are able to manage the pain with advil or tylenol. You may also need to be on an antibiotic if swelling is present. Other than that 2 weeks may be fine.
It depends on the situation. If in pain or are swollen don't, wait.
