It might help to see a picture - since I can't tell what's going on by a description alone.

A bird's beak grows just like its toenails, and sometimes it can chip in places but it's nothing serious - other times the bird can somehow sustain damage that needs to be address medically by a vet.

Also, sometimes - it's a matter of a flaw in the alignment of the beak and it growing out at a funky angle or crossing (scissorsbeak), which can also be addressed and fixed at the vet for little charge.
