If the tooth is not bothering her at this time there is no need to go to an emergency vet this weekend, however I would make an appointment with your veterinarian to have this examined. If there is indeed a tooth stuck in the roof of her mouth then it should probably be removed. Cats do not always show pain, however if it hurts, she will not let you touch it. If that is the case please take her to a vet today.
