Wood in my weetabix

Hey I have chipped a tooth on what seems like a small piece of wood I've found in my weetabix. I have emailed the company photographs. What should I do now?

Thanks in advance

    I cracked a tooth on a piece of wholegrain bread on a hard piece of wheat grain.

    Suspect it was a bit of grain and not wood .

    I never contacted the manufacturer to complain though

    I broke a tooth eating a hot beef roll ... soft bread, soft beef, soft onions and soft gravy. Life happens .......
  • How could you tell?  I thought Weetabix was wood.

    Seriously, I chipped a tooth eating a fishfinger about 40 years ago - I bit the fork.  It felt a bit odd for a couple of weeks but I never bothered getting it fixed and it's never caused me any trouble.  As long as you've notified them of a potential fault in their food processing, what else would you want to do?

    I broke a tooth on something I ate a few years ago ( cant remember what it was)

    what did I do?   went to the dentist and had it repaired....

    Next step is a trip to the dentist, I believe!

    That's extravagant.  :)
