5yrs ago my tooth was split underneath the gumline. Today my tooth is still split in half, and now I can see the other half of my tooth that should be hidden by my gums. My gum above this tooth has white pump on it as well as pain when I'm eating what is wrong? and what action should I take?

Hi

Thanks for writing in.

You are having abcess in that tooth.
You need to get that tooth extracted.
Before that you need to take course of antibiotic & analgesic.
Consult your dentist for further details.
