Yes, they are. Go to a dentist and get a written estimate on the cost of repair.

Yes, they very well could be liable. They will want to see the plastic as well, though.

I would say yes, but they would probably require you to file a law suit or small claims action.

The company is liable because it allowed a foreign body to be part of the biscuit and that object caused your foreseeable injury.

Every claim or law suit has two basic elements: Liability (fault) and damages (how much). Many times a person may have a good claim but the damages are insufficient to interest a lawyer in taking your case. If the damages are modest you may wish to sue in Small Claims Court, where no lawyers are allowed and the damages are limited to $10,000.
