Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Drifter! Is the tooth intact or broken? You can always take a picture for us. If the tooth is intact he will be fine. If it is broken and the root is still present in his jaw then there is a risk of an abscess or the segment affecting the growth of the adult. If it’s broken I would take him to your vet to discuss taking him to surgery to remove the piece. Good luck!
