If you have a broken tooth eventually the tooth will rot out from the gums and then fall out on it's own without needing a dentist to pull the tooth on out.

Still it can take a month or two or sometimes longer for the tooth to eventually come out on it's own so I would advise seeing a dentist and just have the dentist pull the tooth on out if possible.

That way you don't risk infection of the gums and you won't have to wait too long to get rid of the broken tooth.

But eventually the tooth will fall out on it's own anyway whether you see a dentist or not.

I had a broken tooth before and it took 3 months for the tooth to finally rot out enough to fall out but it did fall out.

The next tooth I had broken I had a dentist pull it on out so I wouldn't have to worry about it and deal with the broken tooth anymore.
