Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to get an x-ray done of the broken tooth.
ROOT CANAL TREATMNET is to be performed.
Till then you can take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
A ceramic crown can be fixed upon it when the treatment is completed.

Take care!
