Many things can cause a tooth to shatter. Any sufficient trauma to the face or mouth can cause teeth to break. Wear your seat belt when riding in a car. Wear a mouth guard during contact sports. Mind your own business.
Teeth can also break when old amalgam (silver) fillings break down. Often a tooth that has had a root canal but was not fitted with a crown can become brittle and fracture.

Do you have a bone splinter after a tooth extraction?
A common complication of tooth extraction is something called a 'sequestrum'. This is a small sliver of bone that has died and sheared off of the wall of the tooth socket. The body generally reacts to the sliver of dead bone as it would a splinter. It slowly works its way to the surface and pokes through the gum tissue. At this point, it is best to return to the dentist who extracted the tooth. He/she is trained to manage this minor complication properly. Once the sequestrum is removed, the pain goes away quickly and the healing will follow.
