Oh no, poor Layla! Likely this tooth is her baby canine tooth, which would fall out eventually anyway. Do not pull this tooth out yourself, as if it's barely hanging on, it should come out on it's own, like during a meal. I would take her into the vet in the morning to have her mouth examined, as it should be made sure that the root isn't still in her gums. I would feed her canned puppy food or soak her dry food with warm water or low sodium beef or chicken broth to make it softer and easier for her to eat in case her mouth is sore.
