When you know that the problem is because of the broken tooth, the remedy will also lie in the rectification of the same. Depending upon the present condition of the tooth, either it will require root canal treatment followed by a cap or will require extraction. A proper clinical examination by a dentist will determine the appropriate treatment plan for you.
Regards.
