My 2nd Molar on my Root Canal part of it broke off

No clue what the topic to choose from.

Well I was eating french burnt peanuts and wam I felt a tooth broke. I check my back tooth which has a root canal , but no crown yet ( left cheek ). My 2nd molar tooth on the right is broken off but not all the way. Its still connect to my gum and I have no clue what to do.

I don't have insurance yet till next month. What should I do in the mean time.

this cant wait so you have a choice. if you want to save the tooth go without insurance and get it fixed now. if you dont mind having a hole in your mouth wait. or you dont mind a much more extensive procedure you can get an implant (which even if insurance covers it your out of pocket will be more than a crown now) then again wait i depends on how badly you want to keep your tooth.
