It depends how big the piece of tooth was that came away. If there is sufficient tooth left then it could be filled by an amalgam filling which is silver and moulds to the shape of the usual tooth shape. If the tooth is past saving then it needs removed and this is an extraction. The reminder of the tooth would be removed and you would be left with a gap. Chew on your good side until you see a dentist.

Sounds as if the tooth is pretty broken down due to dental caries (decay), causing the enamel to become undermined and fracture off.
You need to see a dentist. It depends on the extent of the decay/amount of tooth tissue loss, but your options are filling, extraction, you may possibly need a root filling, or you may need a crown.
