Hi sir.....    The symptoms of sensitivity indicates that broken area exposes dentine(second layer) of your teeth... You need to do tooth coloured filling with composites .. Anyway X_ray (IOPA) should be done to confirm whether the pulp(nerve layer) is not involved before going for filling
Next Steps
Kindly visit nearby dentist for furthur consultation and management

Hi, If the roots and a little portion of the crown is intact it may be possible to save the tooth without extraction. The dentist will need to do a root canal treatment (RCT) followed by insertion of a post in the canal (post and core) followed by a cap on the tooth.
Next Steps
However if damage to crown is extensive then extraction followed by replacement of the tooth with a implant/bridge/removable denture are the available options

Hello Ma'am Greetings of the day. It is possible to repair a fractured tooth. Visit the dentist and get a x-ray done so that the possibility of RCT can be known. If the fracture involves the pulp, RCT will be needed followed by a crown and in case it is a superficial fracture, it can be restored using composite, veneers or crowns directly.
