Chipped and broken teeth can lead to infection, abscesses and become painful. I recommend to have Loko examined by the veterinarian who will likely recommend to remove the broken tooth and the retained tooth root under the gum line. Make sure to ask if they have dental x-rays which will be needed to identify and retained roots. I hope this helps.
