Is he still eating and drinking OK?
Is he sitting hunched over or fluffed up?
Is he hopping around alright?
Had the bleeding stopped?

Hopefully he should be OK then. Keep a close eye on him. Make sure he keeps eating lots of hay, the tooth may be fractured under the gum line and break off as it grows, but as long as it's only one tooth and not both they should still wear down OK.
If you are worried about him, his behaviour changes, or he struggles to eat a vet visit would be in order

As long as the teeth continue to wear normally against each other as they grow, and your rabbit isn't showing any signs of difficulty eating or chewing, it may be fine. The chipped part will grow out and be gone in a few weeks most likely. But if your rabbit is showing signs of difficulty eating, and/or the tooth starts overgrowing because of malocclusion, you'll need to find a knowledgeable rabbit vet to give your rabbit a dental exam.

If it is not bleeding, you should not have much trouble. Just clean the wound with something antibacterial. I use silver or Silvercillin. Good luck!

That's good, a chip is better than a proper break.
For the wound on bunny's chin, even some boiled water, left to cool with a very small amount of salt in it will do x
