Hello and welcome to the forum
Yes he looks like he has chipped one of his incisors on something. His incisor should grow pretty fast and meet the opposing incisor (bottom one) within a couple of weeks. then they will rubbing together and wear properly again and even each other up. The bottom one will grow up a bit as it has nothing to wear against for a little while

In the meantime weigh him daily and keep a record of his weight. You are looking for a nice steady weight, that shows he is eating normally.

Be vigilant and make sure he is still eating his normal foods and plenty of hay

Ok thank you so much. I’m so worried about this. My first time encountered it

You may have to cut veggies into strips to help with getting them into their mouth. They may not be able to bite pieces off for a while.

If you have any major concerns or piggie isn’t eating well then please see a vet, but in most cases everything should grow back to normal very soon
