My puppy's tooth is bleeding and bent after tug-of-war. What to do?

Question

I was playing with my dog and a toy and I guess I pulled too hard and he started bleeding. I believe it’s from one of his front k9’s (if that’s the word; sorry if it’s not). It looks like it got bent, what should I do? He still has all of his baby teeth I believe but I’m not sure. Please help.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Not to worry, this is no big deal. I can’t be totally certain but the picture appears that the little front teeth (incisors) are adult teeth. But the canines are baby teeth. And by the looks of the little bulges, the adult canines will be erupting soon. Long story short, this was going to happen to this baby canine sooner or later anyway!. It does not hurt very much at all and will probably fall out completely (or he’ll swallow it) in the next day or so. There is no way you’d be able to knock out an adult canine with a rope toy. So carry on with your tug-o-war and don’t worry if a baby tooth here and there are casualties! Best wishes to you and Xavier!
