Go to a dentist.

You probably fractured it a long time ago. Then decay started to work on it from the inside. It weakened and part of it broke off.
This happened to me. I never felt any acute pain, because as the decay grew, it killed the nerve inside the tooth. I had no Idea I had a problem until I was driving and suddenly spit part of the tooth out. Half the crown remained standing, and broke off later on.
If you get to a dentist soon, you may be able to save the tooth with a filling. If you wait, it'll be a root canal or an extraction. I also know this from experience...

The tooth seems to be trying to decay. I suggest you see a dentist before it creates some BIG problems for you.
Good luck!
