Hello as I can understand from your question that probably when you were biting on something really hard a part of teeth got chipped off. Now depending on the amount of damage which has to be assessed clinically and on xray a restoration or root canal treatment has to be done.
Next Steps
Visit a nearby qualified dentist who also ascertains there is no fracture inside the teeth.
Health Tips
Avoid biting unusually hard substances with your teeth.
