It seems to be broken because of tooth decay. Because the picture is not clear can’t tell exactly the reason for breakage. Visit us and get treated. If it is deep you will be needing a root canal treatment followed by crown else a simple filling would do.

Visit Dentist as soon as possible
Health Tips
Make sure you don’t touch it with your tongue to avoid ulcers in tongue because of sharp margins from broken area

Dear practo user
You need definite dental treatment. Broken tooth can be saved if treated early.

Get a x ray done and proceed from there.. if the decay has reached pulp you might need RCT and crown and if its not much deep there are other options available to replace the tooth structure.. If there is pain or sensitivity or the sharp edges are cutting the side of your tongue contact clinic immediately. Hope this helps
