I somehow managed to chip on of my front teeth while eating today. The chip appears minor and it stopped aching a few minutes after. My question is; Should i go to my dentist about it? And if i do, what can he do about it?

Yes, surely you should visit Dentist, if there is small fracture and not having pain then Composite build up is the best treatment of choice. Thank You

Yes you should definitely visit a dentist if you don't want the symptoms to appear in the future again. A tooth is never going to heal itself on its own and what a dentist can do is repair that damage with the tooth coloured material so that it doesn't even remain conspicuous. Regards.
