Hole in tooth, some broken off, should i strain my poo?

No: Dont worry about looking for it. Highly likely that nothing can be done with the fragment. Your best bet is just to go see your dentist.

Broken tooth: The quick answer is don't bother. Any part that is missing can be replaced. No need to look for the missing piece.
