There shouldn't be any reason why a dentist can't do minimal treatment for you, such as just smoothing off the rough edge of the broken tooth.
Have you checked this out? You could go back for a more permanent solution when it is the appropriate time. You shouldn't suffer like this.
I would suggest you get this taken care of ASAP. Constantly irritating the tongue in that area can be harmful.
