While an employee was driving a pin out of a roller with a hammer a small piece of metal came off of the hammer striking employee in the edge of a front tooth chipping a small corner off the tooth. I took the employee to the dentist to make sure the tooth was ok. The dentist recommended repairing the tooth just in case so there wouldn't be problems later.
