It would be unusual for a tooth to crack when a "small surface filling" is done. Teeth can have hidden fractures in them that even a dentist won't see and they don't show on x-rays. All it takes is biting on something hard to cause a tooth to break. Fractures can go undetected for years. Also chewing on ice can lead to fractures in the enamel.
