Hello
Firstly the extend of the crack has to be evaluated on an X ray so that if it can be saved by filling or Root canal treatment (RCT) (depending on the crack) it should be treated for the same.If only root stumps are present then it should be extracted. Please get the tooth treated before it gets infected and start giving you pain and discomfort .
Next Steps
Visit dentist as early as possible to prevent further damage.
Health Tips
Maintain your oral hygiene and don't let food get accumulated in the cracked tooth area.

Visit a dentist and get a proper clinical examination and 1 X Ray done..... that will help us to decide whether the tooth is still restorable or not, depending upon the level and extent of the fracture.... Every effort should be made to save the natural tooth if possible..... otherwise extraction remains the only option..... treatment should not be delayed in either case.....

Extent of crack will determine its further treatment. If some amount of sound tooth is still visible without any crack extending in roots then it can be saved with rct followed by post and core, and crown/cap. But this can only be assured after clinical examination. If nothing has left to save it, then its removal is the ultimate option followed by its replacement with an artificial one.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist as soon as possible to avoide its further damage and complications.
