Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If Nemo is not showing any signs of pain or discomfort he does not have to be seen by a vet immediately. Mild bleeding should stop within the next 30-60 min. However, broken canine tooth should be extracted as there is an increased risk of infection and chronic pain through the exposed tooth pulp.
