If it is a baby tooth, he will lose it & the permanent tooth will come in.

If it was a baby tooth, the rest of the tooth will fall out, and a new adult tooth will come in. Keep an eye on it though, if any nerves were exposed, or there is a large hole, it could become infected, and form an abscess, which is very painful! Or if the tooth does not fall out, take him to the vet to get it looked at.
Rawhides are not a good idea for pups (in fact I don't recommend them at all, many are made out of the US and are chemically treated...my parents dog got salmonella from a pigs ear raw hide) try a Kong, its a bit more forgiving on the teeth,

Puppies start losing their baby teeth between 4 and 6 months old. They will then get their adult teeth, so it will be replaced by the adult tooth. However, if this baby tooth is broken down too much, it can cause pain and discomfort for your puppy. If you notice him having problems eating, chewing rawhides, yelping or any other pain response near the tooth area, please call your vet.

He's going to lose all his baby teeth anyway...and his adult teeth will start coming in about 5 months of age..
Keep an eye on the broken tooth, if the gums start looking red and inflamed/infected, get the pup to the vets right away. Otherwise dont worry...

At three months of age it was a puppy tooth and it Will grow back. You'll start finding all kinds of teeth lying around if he doesn't swallow them. They will fall out untill the dog is about 6 months. Then all the permanent teeth will be in.

As long as it was a baby tooth, then the adult tooth should still grow in it's place. However you might call your vet and make sure you don't need to get any medicine to keep him from getting an infection.

It probablly is a baby tooth and it will grow back. It shouldn't take too long (a couple of days to a week) to start seeing new growth. If you don't consult your vet.
