You know the tooth is missing - others don't. and I doubt they will notice either, because bottom teeth aren't as noticeable as top teeth.. and you can easily smile/laugh without showing the bottom set.
If people seem to notice you're acting a bit different, you can just tell them you're not feeling too good or whatever.
As for trying to disguise it, there's nothing you can really put there that will actually work. I did a Google search and it said about using putty. but seriously, that seems like alot of hassle to make it the right shape/colour and make it stick there for the entire school day.
Remember, Wednesday is just around the corner. and it's only one tooth that's missing - in an unnoticeable place, too!
but if someone does happen to notice (which I doubt they would unless you told them), so what? Accidents do happen. I know alot of people who have had accidents like this involving teeth. It's not a big deal to make.. and if people make fun of you over an accident, screw them. They're waste.

I didn't notice it until about 4 or 5 months after working with her every day for 6 hours straight. You only have to wait until Wednesday. Try not to smile really big or open your mouth wide enough to see your bottom teeth. It's really the only thing you can do. [ MyHappyShoe's advice column | Ask MyHappyShoe A Question ]

And people will be like, why do you have that on your tooth? And then you'll have to explain it, and then they'll want to see it.
I think you should just relax and don't let it bother you. It's really not as big a deal as you think. It's just a tooth, and it's only a couple days. I've seen people come to school with a lot worse... black eyes, broken noses, stitches, etc. Nobody will think badly of you or make fun of you. It was an accident, so they'll feel sorry for you! Well, okay, I could see maybe some doofy guys teasing you, but just in a flirty sort of way. And it might be kind of fun to get a little attention! So don't let it bother you. It's really going to be okay! [ Jeanne's advice column | Ask Jeanne A Question ]
