Mango pits are a choking hazard and could create an intestinal blockage if consumed. The pit also contains cyanide, which is toxic to dogs. If he actually ate the pits then yes, this is an emergency. If he just chewed them, he may be fine. I think it is best you consult with your local vet. This article may help you more: ( https://www.purina.com/articles/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-mango )
