How bad is it if the enamel starts to come off a crown?

A thin flake of enamel peeled off the side inside my mouth of my crown.

    If you are speaking of an artificial crown then other than being slightly unsightly and perhaps rough it is not a crisis, but should be fixed to keep opposing teeth form shifting.

    If you are talking about the crown or a native tooth - that should been seen soon. The tooth needs attention because it may decay without protection of enamel.
