Call a dentist...: ... there really is not much you can personally do to restore a broken tooth.

Broken tooth: You have two choices. Either see a dentist and get the tooth fixed or do nothing and let the tooth decay, continue to break, get abscessed, and painful. The tooth will not heal itself.

For a broken tooth-: If in pain, take some OTC pain medication. See a dentist for evaluation and treatment. If no pain, see a dentist for evaluation and treatment.... Doing anything else will result in more expense, fewer options and possible loss of tooth.
