From what you are saying that the front tooth is fine in the front but black on the back, (sounds like you have alot of stain).
You need to see the dentist as soon as possible, they will need to xray your teeth and let you know what needs to be done.
You probably need a good cleaning, and repair the chip tooth, if you wait too long, there can be more damage done, like the nerve dying in the tooth from the chip you broke, and therefore will need a root canal. ( alot of money) and then a crown on top to prevent the tooth repaired being to weak (no nerve left) and break.
Good Luck
