shell chipped?

My miss map is a big baby and makes a super panicked "last chance dive to survive" every time he sees people when he is basking. Frequently he hits the glass in the comotion mid dive. About a week or two ago i noticed what appears to be a chip on one of the ridges on his carapace. I am pretty sure this would have happened during one of his dives.

the chipped area is the tip of the ridge is missing, and is white. Does this sound good or bad? Will this heal over with time, or is he forever scarred?

Thanks for any insight.

Geoff
