See a dentist: A tooth that has broken off at the gum line, leaving only the root, needs to be extracted and replaced. See your dentist for consultation and treatment.

Evaluation: The tooth needs to be evaluated by a local dentist. If enough tooth remains, then a post and crown can be used to restore the tooth. If broken beyond repair, then it should be extracted and replaced with an implant.
