i have heard that they can break teeth when eating prey and it passes with their food but cant say if its harmful in your case might be i dunno just because its sticking out of his mouth , maybe try to just take it out if you can

Snake's teeth grow back... Luckily... They will loose them from time to time. Usually no issues. They're known as polyphyodont creatures - it's quite interesting to read about (do a google on it).

However, if your situation is different... Then I guess you could always post a pic

Often when a snake bites you you can find a tooth left in your skin. It does sound like this situation (of course I can't say for certain) that the tooth was dislodged but remained holding on by a thread. It will eventually (if it hadn't already) come loose and a new tooth will grow.
