A clinical examination is required to assist you on this.
If this condition can be saved a root canal treatment is required.
If the prognosis is hopeless the teeth will be removed followed by its replacement.
If the condition is associated with pain ( reason for not chewing from that side) you can use ice packs for temporary pain relief.
Next Steps
visit a dentist nearby
