Part of my tooth broke off
I was using a toothpick as i felt something was stuck between my teeth. I didn't use too hard but a part of my tooth broke fell out. it doesn't pain but feels hollow when i feel it with my tongue. also, it wasn't a filling , but a real tooth part.
i have previously also had chipping in other teeth when a part of the teeth just came out without me doing anything.
why is this happening? what should i do?

The tooth must be decayed already from inside, so food got stuck and tooth became weak, so it broke

As you are pointing out that similar chipping has happened in other areas, you are best advised to visit a dentist for thorough evaluation of any excessive biting force areas due to any improper fillings or teeth which not in alignment or decay happening in the non visible areas.
