Robert,
One of mine broke two teeth at different times. Both times I went to a vet specializing in dental work. Both times, if left untreated, the eventual outcome would have been infections. I'm not talking about just dental infections, I'm talking about resulting body organ infections. And often a dog does not present with the symptoms of infections until it is rather along in distress.
One tooth was pulled.
One tooth had a root canal and cap.
A vet dentist can perform a root canal and cap the tooth, or pull it.
I was and am fortunate that the vet dentist is also the dentist to many law enforcement agencies and is very practiced and experienced with big dog dentistry. Didn't hurt that he was a professor at Cornell.
But the upshot is, you should have the dog checked out by a competent vet dentist. And as a spoiler alert, it ain't cheap to have dental work performed.
In my opinion, if you value your dog, as you very much seem to, you will seek out a competent vet dentist to make sure there are no issues that require attention.
Any other course of action, again in my opinion, is a crap shoot.
