Hard to say...: Either it is restorable or it is not, but only an examination will tell that. Call a local dentist for a consult.

See a dentist: The next thing is to see your dentist and find out. What can be done for your tooth. Without any treatment you are at risk of infection and the pain and problems that go with infections. The longer you wait the more likely it is that you will have infection. So call a dentist.
