What do you suggest if i chipped my tooth when i accidentally bit on a fork?

Get it repaired: Go see your dentist asap and get your broken tooth repaired. If the break exposed the inner structure of the tooth called dentin, the tooth is much more susceptible to decay, sensitivity, discoloration and nerve damage/infection.
