Broken tooth to gumline - do I need to see a dentist asap and can it be fixed without extraction? (photo)

kimberlyrenee28
The back inside quarter of my tooth in front of my molar broke off down to the gumline while eating. I noticed it right away and went to look and found the gum line bleeding. No pain yet. Is this consider an emergency that needs to be address ASAP? Is there a possibility it can be built back up wil something or will I need a root canal and crown?
