My now 10 year old bitch broke her upper canine off leaving about 1/4 inch of tooth exposed - asked my vet and she said not to worry about it as it would heal itself. This was when she was just under a year old, and she's had no problems with it since then. I agree - I would just watch it but not worry about it.
