If it's your natural tooth, your dentist can glue it back on, as long as you keep it moist. Best, if you keep it under your tongue until the appointment. This should be done asap, before the tissue in that piece dies off.
If it's only composite resin, you worry about it. This seems to be the case, as your tooth isn't bleeding, which it would if it was a natural tooth piece that broke off. You can go to work and see a dentist later on. He'll just redo the work. No need to keep the broken piece in this case.

The sooner you get to the dentist the better. They can still put your tooth back on but if you wait too long they'll have to give you a veneer. I got hit in the face with a door in 2nd grade and I've had a veneer since then. It's broken off twice but the one I have now has been in for several years now.
