Answer
Hello Carol!
Well, I dont have any personal expierience but I have had some people on this site telling me about there giunea pigs loosing 1/8 teeth and being fine. I suggest cutting up vegetables smaller, giving more of the sorter vegetables (lettuce instead of carrots, you know?), and buying giunea pig food with smaller peices apposed to all pellets and checking his tooth once a day for infection or bleeding. Also track down whatever broke the tooth and if you can then get rid of it to prevent future damage.
