Decayed teeth: If you don't get the cavities taken care of, soon the nerve of those teeth will be involved causing pain and infection and then you will need more complicated treatment. Same with broken tooth. If not taken care of, it will rot further and can cause abscess and infection. The infection can also spread in your body and heart. So the best is to see a dentist. Your health starts in your mouth.

Infection!!: Not removing the tooth broken in half will lead to infection, not fixing the decayed teeth will lead to more fractured teeth, which will lead to more infection. Any questions! get to your dentist and let them fix your problems.
