Would advise you to visit a dentist immediately.
Brittle tooth could have multiple reasons.... Probably hypoplasia or chewing hard food or erosion or any other underlying disease.
Donot panic.... If you are worried about the complications of you swallowing your tooth fragment- It will be defeacated.
See your dentist. Better treatment plan can be advised only after clinical observations. X-ray might be recommended.
Next Steps
see your dentist asap
Health Tips
