My first lower molar on the right broke in half and that half fell out. the other half is just loose and it is painful. what should i do?

Your dentist: Hi. That's a case for your dentist. It may have broken because of a cavity or an out of date old filling. You'll probably need a crown if the root is salvageable. Maybe more. I'm sorry we can't help you on the internet!
