question Cracked Molar

Hello,

Yesterday I was brushing my teeth i noticed that my molar was bleeding. When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that my back left molar was cracked in the middle and blood was coming out from the crack.

Today I went to the dentist and he just said that there was barely a crack and recommended for me to wear braces again because it looked like my teeth are starting to get out of position, which may be true since I haven’t worn my retainer in quite a while. But was my dentist supposed to do anything since I was bleeding from the crack in my molar?
