Hi, the chip in the tooth needs to be looked at immediately as you have slight pain, kindly see a dentist asap as there could be decay which needs to be removed and a filling put in to avoid getting the nerve involved. Also get an X-ray done to see the extent of fracture.
Next Steps
Kindly see a dentist asap and take a radiograph
