Part of my tooth just came off.

For context, I haven't been able to go to the dentist for several years now because I don't have dental insurance, and I haven't been able to get on Medicaid because the government's made that an incredibly difficult proposition if you're basically not eating ketchup packets and ramen every day.

I was brushing my teeth when I felt something with my tongue and then the part of my tooth you can see in the attached photo came off. There's no pain in the tooth (second molar on my left upper jaw), but there's now just this gash there and I'm afraid if I don't do something about it, something terrible is going to happen.

I don't have any insurance, but I'm pretty sure if I keep this tooth in my head I'm screwed. How much does it cost to get a tooth removed?
