Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the tooth is loose enough and your dog will let you, you can pull it out. If it won’t come out or he won’t left you, just leave it alone until tomorrow. Make an appointment with your vet tomorrow to make sure no root remains. If he wants to eat tonight, he can but I wouldn’t feed him in the morning in case the vet needs to sedate him for an oral exam. Water is ok to give. Do not give any medications either, your vet may prescribe something tomorrow. Good luck and kisses to Rocky!
