      I wanted the "cup"-shape of a quarter of an egg. I made the egg by first making a sphere with follow me, then I deformed it using FredoScale. Next I used planes to "cut" the egg such that I erased all I did not want. But on one edge, there are these triangles; though small, they kinda ruin the smooth edge. It appears that a few, non-connected, points are not connected; so I drew a line between them hoping that the surface would then be complete and smooth: it did not. In fact, within this small triangular area, I surface does not exist. Is there a fix for this? I could try another method, but since this happens a lot, my guess is that I have missed something.

        Temporarily make hidden geometry (all the edges) visible.
        Did you try to smooth the triangle's edges by sweeping the 'Eraser' tool over its edges while holding down [Ctrl] This will smooth the triangle's edges and will make one large smooth surface.
