“Speech ”
I have always had bad teeth and they break , but never have I had one break and cause such difficulty speaking , I woke up 3 days ago and had a lisp , it feels like the right side of my tongue isn’t working correctly, I’m having trouble saying words and have to slow down alottttt and put a lot of effort into saying some words and my tongue feels weird in my mouth , I’m scared I don’t know if it’s because I broke my tooth ? Or because something happened what should I do and is it most likely caused by the tooth or do I need to see a doctor

Hey! It seems like you should make a visit to the dentist soon. When considering broken teeth, sometimes the sharpness of the broken tooth can cause the tongue/cheek/gums to rub against it, causing irritation and swelling. The tongue could be swollen from irritation, but its best to get it checked so you can get the tooth fixed, double check that you don't need an antibiotic for that tongue swelling, and to also find out the cause of why your teeth are breaking as often as they are. Best of luck!
Sorry to hear you are going through a tough time. I would suggest to see a doctor of a full mouth evaluation. Your dentist may refer you to see a specialist.
I would advise you to actually see your primary care physician before seeing a dentist as this could be something unrelated to your teeth. Please see your primary care physician as soon as possible.

I am sorry to hear you broke your tooth. Teeth definitely play an important part in speech, the tongue and the teeth work together in the pronunciation of words. Having a lisp is quite possible especially if you lost a tooth in the front. I would be more than happy to see you to take a look and give you some alternatives for treatment.
See a dentist/doctor immediately for an evaluation. Only a qualified medical professional would be able to give you a definitive diagnosis.

Yes! Please see your primary care physician.
Probably best to see a doctor or dentist ASAP. If that’s not possible, then an er visit
It's 90% likely its cause of the broken tooth. Especially if its a lisp. Go get the tooth or teeth (in the front) fixed and then see if it continues. If so just tell your dentist.
I recommend you to your dentist and your physician. However, broken front tooth can affect speech.
Given your symptoms the best course of action would to see a dentist. With a thorough clinical exam one can better answer your question.
Unlikely caused by a tooth. You may be experiencing a more serious health issue. I would recommend checking with your primary care doctor first and they may recommend you see an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Be well.
I think I will need to see you in person. Do you think you are grinding your teeth at night ? It may interfere with speech.
