“What can I do with my broken molar?”
I'm 24 years old, and I broke my molar 3 days ago. Is there anything that I can do? Do I need to visit a dentist?

Yes!!!
I would advise to see a dentist as soon as possible. If the crack is extensive enough it could require a crown. It may also just require a filling, but either way, a dentist should be seen to have this problem addressed properly before it gets worse.
Yes, you should schedule an appointment to have the tooth evaluated. A broken tooth may not immediately cause pain, but most likely needs attention.
Go see your dentist before it gets worse
Absolutely visit a dentist. A broken tooth can often lead to tooth loss if not treated.
If you leave it, it will probably get worse, and eventually, you may get an infection that may or may not hurt, and the worst thing that could happen is that it could kill you.
You need to see your dentist asap. The tooth may be able to be saved or it may need to be extracted and an implant placed or to fill the space a bridge could be made. Don't ignore it.
Yes you should have an examination from a dentist with any broken tooth whether or not there is pain involved. The outer surface of the tooth is enamel which impermeable to bacteria when intact. The underlying structure -dentin is not.
It would be a good idea to see your dentist. Maybe your tooth can be restored. Unfortunately if you are not in the dental profession, you CAN'T repair your teeth yourself.
BUT YOU are the only one who can take care of your teeth. You need your back teeth to chew on. When you don't see your dentist when you have a problem or are in pain, problems get bigger and so does the cost of restoration. Take care of that tooth and start a home care system.
