See dentist: Sometimes trauma can be worse than it appears. How old is he. If he's a child and it's his baby tooth he'll lose the tooth around 11 years of age. If he's a you c adult is recommend seeing a dentist so it can be determined if there has been damage to the tooth (ie cracks, nerve damage etc) which can then be properly addressed.

Contact dentist: See dentist for a complete evaluation. Usually, the dentist will continue to monitor the area if needed. The canine comes in the mouth at about 11 years old, so it is important to maintain this tooth. Ask dentist about all scenarios.

Chipped tooth: aren't usually cause for big dental concern and your smile can always be returned to normal. There may be a small crack running through the tooth that isn't causing problems now so it is always a good idea to seek professional input.
