Without clinically seeing its not possible to say anything , its better that you visit a dentist and get it checked. But treatment options include filling or RCT followed by capping.

hello, you need to visit a dentist and get it checked. get an x-ray done if required. if there is infection to the root of the tooth, you need to get it treated. then get a crown placed over that tooth.

Firstly get a  X RAY done, that will confirm whether the tooth can be saved or not , and if possible then a RCT followed by a POST AND CORE followed by a crown can be done..  If the tooth can not be saved then an implant would be the first choice, if not than a bridge would be the second choice
Next Steps
Rush to your dentist
Health Tips
Eat from other side Don't delay Don't put pressure on the effected tooth

The dentist after taking an x Ray would tell you if it's possible to save the tooth by doing an rct and crown or to extract it followed by a fixed restoration at a later time that could be a fixed partial denture or a ceramic bridge or zirconia bridge or dental implant
