Hello. What I can not tell is if the puppy tooth is just loose or the entire tooth has fractured. You might want to have your vet take a look at this because if the tooth is fractured, the remaining root may not fall out on its own & may affect how the adult tooth comes in. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
