I'm sorry but you really should let a vet look at it as a broken tooth presents an area of dentine and tissue which is not supposed to be exposed and this may lead to infection developing. Also, it should not have broken so easily which may be a sign of some other problem. I would seriously suggest you get it looked at.

in case you knocked off cat's enamel only through giving it a tablet, the enamel could were damaged in the previous except that is a kitten, in which case that is possibly to be a toddler enamel. human being cats frequently wade through with enamel neck lesions on their pre-molar and molar enamel. in a lot of situations you'll no longer see any indicators of soreness yet those lesions will gradually get better and enamel would brake off. also, enamel neck lesions convey about gingivitis (gum inflammation) and may get contaminated. an infection can spread to the bone and enter the blood flow. So extremely, your cat must have a dental, the roots of the damaged enamel are nevertheless interior and decide to be bumped off.

He will be okay, don't worry. That has happened to plenty of my cats and kittens. When ever some of my cats has eaten , like bones or something, one of there teeth had came out. I think it will grow back. But if you are still concered just have a vet check him out. And don't worry. These things happen. He will be just fine.

Maybe this is normal (like baby teeth??). Go to the vets.

Unless he seems to be in pain he'll be fine, if he does appear to be in pain then take him to the vet.

Sounds like it "may" have been a baby tooth. I think he will be fine.
