while chewing on a rawhide bone i noticed that there was a bit of blood on it, so right away i opened his mouth, an sure enough his upper left fang tooth broke just before it hits the gum part.

Yes, it was time for it to come out, and it will grow back quickly.

If it was a baby tooth, the rest of the tooth will fall out, and a new adult tooth will come in. Keep an eye on it though, if any nerves were exposed, or there is a large hole, it could become infected, and form an abscess, which is very painful! Or if the tooth does not fall out, take him to the vet to get it looked at. Rawhides are not a good idea for pups (in fact I don't recommend them at all, many are made out of the US and are chemically treated...my parents dog got salmonella from a pigs ear raw hide) try a Kong, its a bit more forgiving on the teeth,

The tooth won't grow back, but it will be replaced by the adult tooth in about a month and a half. Puppies start losing their baby teeth at about 16 weeks of age(4 months). Watch the rawhide, make sure he isn't swallowing big chunks of it...$300 to $600 surgery to have a blocked intestine corrected.

The tooth wont regrow as such, just as a human tooth wont regrow if it breaks...but because it is a baby tooth I wouldnt be concerned, dogs loose baby teeth just like humans and it will be replaced by an adult tooth eventually...the adult teeth start coming through at between 4-5 months...
Hope this helps

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aUMTf
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Well, since it's a baby tooth, it really doesn't matter since he should start to lose his puppy teeth fairly soon anways. If he's having a hard time chewing however, try adding chicken/beef broth to the puppy's food. You can also put canned food over the puppy food and mix it in. You can also try and put canned, plain soup onto the food. My dogs love it! Hope this helps! Have fun with the puppy! C:

puppies just like humans have baby teeth that fall out and don't grow back. Adult teeth come in after the baby teeth fall out. Just make sure the gum doesn't become red/inflammed or infected.

Yes, it will finish coming out and then a new one will grow in. He will loose puppy teeth and they will be replaced with adult teeth.
Don't worry. He will be fine.

yes, just like a child,you lose your baby teeth,when the pup reaches a certain age his second set of teeth will come in,make sure you brush his teeth frequently to avoid gum disease
and tartar build up!
