I I got my front tooth broken and it took a little of my other tooth next to it which I got bonding years ago. Yesterday out of nowhere that part came out leaving a hole on my front tooth.

My tooth doesn't hurt yet . would like to know what will be good for me since I don't like needles or anesthesia.
