Jocelyn,

As long as Fireball is able to eat his hay, I would not expect there to be anything to worry about. He has probably broken the tooth chewing overenthusiastically on his cage wire. An occasional Piggyfriends boar has done the same thing. My Rowan did it many times in his long life and I used to grate his veggies until he could bite pieces from them again. He never had any trouble eating hay or grass and was still able to pick up his dry food.

Piggy teeth grow back at an amazing rate. Just check that there are no broken bits in his mouth and, if the tooth has not broken right down to the gum, that there is no sharp edge. 

Happy munching, Fireball,

Penny and the Piggyfriends.
