Given the condition of your broken molar tooth, it's essential to schedule a visit with your dentist as soon as possible. During your appointment, your dentist will likely take an X-ray to assess the tooth's condition and check for any potential infection.
This will enable them to develop an effective treatment plan and prevent the infection from spreading further. Prompt attention will help ensure the best possible outcome for your tooth.
