My dog's tooth made a hole in her lip. Should I take her to the vet?

Question

Do I need to take my dog to our vet? She has a hole in her lip/gum line caused from the tooth above. Her tooth now rests in the hole. It’s not infected and there is no blood. Don’t know when it happened. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 7 months and 24 days old | 61 lbs

Yes, I recommend making an appointment to have Roxy seen by a vet. The lesion may be painful, and could become infected if left untreated. Pain medications meant for humans can be very dangerous (and even deadly) for dogs, so I do not recommend giving any to your pup without consulting with your vet.
