Russian Roulette: The broken roots may become infected and flare up at any time. Many countries have not taken COVID seriously, hopefully yours and your dentist has. If an infection flares up, you'll need to bring her in regardless of the risk. Call her dentist and discuss precautions that will be taken. All the best...

Broken tooth: Risk of infection. More serious than viral infection. Call you mom"s Dentist to discuss your mom's condition, the precautions the Dentist has put into place, and what alternatives are available.
