I have a broken wisdom but is not decayed , what should i do next ?

See a dentist to see if it is just chipped & could be saved/ignored, or a deep break. OR... wait until the tooth abscesses an requires meds and urgent extraction when the pain gets too bad.

See your dentist while the damage is minimal, as waiting will result in infection and require much more extensive intervention.

It would be prudent to see a dentist at your earliest so that the tooth may be salvaged. Wish you good health!
