Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Fractured (broken) tooth treatment can be based only in the way the tooth is fractured.Your dentist can advice you after having evaluated it followed by a radiograph.

For the pain you can take Ibuprofen ( if you are not allergic to any medicine).do not apply excess pressure while chewing.

Visit your dentist at the earliest .

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
