yes because after awhile it will decay and you will have to have a root canal, and sometimes infection has a straight entry to your body that way.... so becareful and see a dentist as soon as possible.

I wouldn't say it is necessary to see a dentist, but it would be advisable. I have had teeth do the same before and did not immediately see a dentist. After some time, the tooth actually broke enough so that food particles woul get stuck inside where a brushing could not get to it. This in turn began to create other health problems along with short term, yet extreme pain.

There are a couple of things that can cause a tooth to break.
And, it depends on what you mean by 'break.'
If you can see faint 'cracking' lines in your teeth, it could be that you are grinding/clenching your teeth. In this case, you would want to see a dentist to have a nightguard made for your teeth.
Also, a tooth can have a pretty significant amount of decay without any pain. In fact, your root may be dead if your tooth has broken off and you're not feeling any pain. In this case, I would also advise you to see your dentist.
Only your dentist can tell you exactly what the problem is.

I know that I'm just going to be reinforcing the previous answers but you should absolutely go see a dentist. Even if there's no pain, the chipping tooth could be signs of rotting (even if the enamel is white), a cavity, a calcium deficiency, or possibly even nerve damage.
A general rule of thumb for health problems is: if you think you MIGHT need to see a doctor, GO SEE ONE AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

your tooth will eventually turn black and the nerve will die and your tooth will get infected that what they said last week and man when they take the rest of the tooth out it hurts for a couple weeks .go soon and maybe they can save it .
