Sounds like the upper 4th premolar. Most common tooth to get cracked. Not optimal to lose this tooth because it is used extensively for chewing, but obviously there is no choice here and she will do just fine without it.

Dental xray should be used in a case like this. Most vets don't have it.

Some types of NylaBone are very hard. They crack teeth all the time.
