When food is put into "the mainstream of commerce," it is guaranteed to be uncontaminated, and fit to eat. When you order food, you expect the food to be edible, and you expect to pay for edible food. So in effect, your situation produces two (2) separate claims within the same lawsuit. A claim for breach of contract, and a claim for breach of warranty. The bottom line is that you do have a case, however the value of that case will depend on the damages caused. It could be merely putting a cap on a tooth, or it could be a root canal, or it could be a removal of a tooth and either an implant or a partial bridge, or it could also involve a damage to your tempero-mandibular joint. You need a good dentist, and a better lawyer.

Food has to be fit for the purpose that it was intended to. In order to sue, you would have to get the broken tooth fixed. Notify the restaurant that you intend to sue.
