See dentist: See a dentist who will take an x-ray and make a determination of what is possible to do with your tooth. There are several options and the dentist will tell you what they are for this particular tooth.

Broken tooth: Have this checked out by your dentist. It may require a simple filling or something more serious. It may require no treatment if it hasn't hurt since it happened. It could also mean the tooth is dead, and would require either a root canal or extraction.
