The discolouration on your tooth so due to the fact that it has become Non vital.
You ll have to go for Root canal treatment with a suitable cap for the same.
You might not have pain presently since its a chronic condition but before further problems start get the treatment done.

If the tooth is turning dark it's suggestive of the tooth loosing its vitality(Blood supply). Better go for root canal and place a cap. Get it done ASAP before it's get infected.

Hello maam. The fractured tooth has become non vital, hence the discolouration. You should visit a dentist and get a x-ray done. Since the tooth is already non vital, rct seems like the most probable treatment option. Get a crown placed over it as rct treated tooth are weak. Scaling and polishing can be done when you visit the dentist.
Next Steps
do not delay the visit
