Tarantula seems to be missing fangs

Hello, I have a tliltocatl albopilosum male that from time to time would climb to the top of his kritter keeper and gnaw at the top for some time. I never saw it as an issue until a little bit ago I attempted to feed it, and the feeding response was great but I noticed the T seemed to be struggling and was wrestling around with the super worm a little too much.. after looking a little closer it looked like the T couldn’t even bite into the prey and it’s unclear to me at the moment but I think I saw at least 1 missing fang. I looked around the enclosure and around the outside to see if it fell somewhere but couldn’t seem to find the missing fang/fangs. What was apparent though was a liquid on the piece of cork bark I have inside which seems to be hemolymph. I’m unsure what to do and was curious if anyone had a similar issue and how they dealt with it
