half of my tooth broke off yesterday and i wanted to know if it would be better to pull it or get it filled in, also which option is cheaper because i do ot have dental insurance. thanks :]

Without question it is ALWAYS better to save the tooth. When a tooth is extracted, it will cause the rest of your teeth to shift, the bone over the extraction site will slowly resorb (dissolve away), and the tooth or teeth immediately below will grow upwards (super erupt). All these changes will happen over a long period of time and will cause periodontal problems.
