They have baby teeth and the usually come out between 4 and 6 months. It is probably a puppy tooth he broke. It can still abscess though and get very painful and infected. I would take him to the vet and get it checked. If it is an adult tooth you want to make sure he doesn't loose it. Either way I would go to the vet.

What a cool photo, mase!!! Jaws Frank, yes they do have baby teeth that fall out, that is, the top part falls out and the roots remain and are reabsorbed. If you are unsure, have your vet take a quick look. This is what Tessa's looked like:
