The worst that will happen is she loses the tooth, right? I would keep an eye on her so she isn't in pain or suffering from an infection.

Yes your hamster will be fine, the tooth should be completely grown back in a week or so. My hamsters water bottle broke and when my husband tried to fix it our hamsters tooth fell out of it!!! he had completley snapped off his bottom tooth, but no harm done, he was still eating loads and after a week the tooth had grown back. Hamsters teeth coninue to grow constantley which is why they need wood, and hard seeds and nuts to chew on to wear their teeth down. Your hammie would of been in no pain at all so try not to worry

She should be - they constantly chew down and regrow teeth - sort of like our fingernails. Just watch in case the tooth broke it off where it will now snag easily on something. Make sure she has stuff to chew on besides her cage. They make chew toys and mineral blocks. Buy a few, but only put a couple in at a time, and switch them out frequently so she doesn't get bored with them and start back in on her cage again.

Keep an close eye on her, a loose tooth is not good. Make sure she's eating good and watch for any weight loss. This is a danger sign she can't eat properly. My one hamster got sick and his lower teeth became loose, he couldn't eat and quickly dropped weight and need to be put down (only took one week to happen). This was one week ago.
You may want to take her to the vet tomorrow to have the tooth checked by the vet.

she'll be fine. they constantly grow their teeth all the time. Your hamster must have tried to chew it... hamsters need to chew to keep their teeth trim and top notch so you must put hamster chew toys such as mineral blocks..
anyways shell be fine so dont worry, all hamsters grow their teeth fast
