    You need to go to a Dentist and have him determine if the root was damaged. If it was you may need a root canal after which the canal will be filled and the tooth covered with something called a 'crown.' If you do not go to the dentist and the root was damaged the tooth will eventually start hurting very badly and turn a different color from your other teeth.

    If the root is okay the dentist may be able to do something called 'bonding' where he can lengthen the tooth with a very strong material, matching your other teeth as best as he can. Bonding is the least expensive way to go but it typically does not last forever.

    My sister had a front tooth break when she was a teenager. She had it bonded. She's had the bonding repaired over the years. It wasn't until this year, when she was 61 years old, that she had to have a root canal and crown put on the tooth.

    As far as putting the broken half back on the tooth, that won't work. I'm sorry.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can use to "glue" a broken tooth together. Definitely a dentist needs to be seen.
