Decay ?: Your chip may have allowed bacteria to get into the tooth, and now it sounds like you have a really deep cavity. You will need to call a local dentist for an appointment asap to prevent this from progressing further.

See your dentist: It sounds like the tooth has some kind of infection either in it or around it. See your dentist to see if it can be saved.
