Probably you have decay in your tooth and the crown of the tooth might have become weak because of which it is breaking in pieces
To save a tooth root canal treatment and post and core, restoration and cap may be needed depending on how muchh tooth structure is left after the treatment is done.
Please attach a picture of your tooth so I can advise you accurately.

Hi saw your concern I’m Saving the tooth ... as dentist we generally prefer saving the tooth but if the teeth is affected to a greater extent we advise removal or else if it’s third molar ( wisdom tooth ) we would prefer removing it ... but if you are very much into saving it then we can suggest after seeing the tooth in person and if needed an x Ray ... thank you
